a river's dream..

riverside locationwalking pathspacious roombreakfast variety
the hotel sat right by the river, so lovely. there was a walking path, perfect for a romantic evening stroll. our room was so clean and spacious, i seemed like royalty. breakfast offered a wide variety, and cook-to-order options were available.
the noise from other guests was a little disturbing, especially during the late hours. i wished for better soundproofing to keep everything more intimate and cozy.
