Very nice family stay!!
Pros:

We have stayed here before 15 years ago and although the place is older it is still a cool spot! Nicely located and the family room was nice and spacious!

Cons:

It needs a bit of maintenance in certain areas but for the price and comfort it is acceptable.

Pros:

The attention to cleaning, servicing the rooms. The location on the river. For the cost between a standard room and a river view room we allowed to upgrade. The staff made the relocation easy and seamless

Cons:

The lift car and housing needs attention
