4/10 Fair

Staff was rude and unprofessional. Even wedding bartenders were rude. My room was disgusting and I had to switch rooms. Second room was better but price doesn’t match property.

8/10 Very Good

The hotel itself is beautiful and the staff was friendly. The room was very comfortable. It was about a 20 minute walk through mostly empty streets to the riverfront. Water kettle and tea bags were available upon request. There was obvious mold in the shower and the wall between rooms was not soundproof as advertised.
