riverside location safe crossing

i loved the location near the river with peaceful views. the hotel had a bus stop outside.. it also had an underpass for safe road crossing. i enjoyed playing board games with my daughter in the lobby during the evenings.

the room was very small. the breakfast room was in a dark basement, so there was little daylight. i found it pricey for what it offered.
