Convenient location and very comfortable room.
Pros:

A very comfortable and freshly decorated room and self check in all worked smoothly. A good location close to all the main sights and we were able to get free parking opposite.
We were disappointed not to have any view, given it sells itself as a riverside location. Breakfast was good but again the breakfast rooms don’t overlook the riverside either.

Cons:

The photo of the building makes it look like it fronts the riverside and has seating outside but the seating outside is a separate restaurant.

Lovely location.
Pros:

Fab location, right by the riverside. Easy walk to town centre and to the station. Lovely riverside walk too.

Cons:

The breakfast was meagre. They ran out of fruit and milk on one morning. I wouldn’t bother with breakfast there again.
Staff uncommunicative but other residents were nice.

Lovely, friendly hotel in a beautiful location!
Pros:

The location is right next to the river and is absolutely beautiful.

Cons:

The parking next to the hotel is only for 23 hours in a 24-hour period, so I had to move the car twice to avoid a parking fine.
