Pros:

Como era temporada baja, había baja ocupación y nos dieron un upgrade con vista al muelle y rio, en primera fila. Inmejorable

Cons:

Algunas cosas del hotel se sienten anticuadas y requieren actualizarse a los estándares de comodidad de hoy, por ejemplo: la ducha con cortina de tela, la falta de tomacorrientes, la llave con llavero de palo gigante
