Fantastic experience , highly recommended but look elsewhere for dinner.
Pros:

Excellent staff, lovely room and lounge/bar area. Good breakfast. Good spa. Fantastic location. All very comfortable.

Cons:

I was disappointed with the options for dinner. The restaurant area only had a buffet available with a fixed price per person. I would much rather a restaurant with à la carte menu. Having said there is a small bar menu available which was tasty.

An excellent stay
Pros:

Clean rooms and comfortable beds, well appointed rooms. Breakfast selection was great. Literally in the heart of town, and on waterfront.

Cons:

Parking was provided for a fee, but was challenging to enter and exit without a very small car.

Gorgeous property on river with all the comforts.
Pros:

Room was amazing with an excellent patio overlooking the water. Breakfast was expansive. Staff was super nice.

Cons:

Would have liked coffee in the room. There was one wood flooring board that was loose and created a walking hazard for my mom.
