This is a very nice small, cozy hotel. There is only one elevator and no pool. However, the coziness makes up for that. The breakfast is very nice (make your own pancakes) and it’s about a 10-15 minute drive to the Riverside train station. You can’t go wrong in this area.

The room, those slightly small, was wonderfully laid out and equipped. There were multiple USB ports in all the right places. The staff, to a person, were helpful, courteous, and cheerful. All seem to want to go out of their way to make us comfortable. The very detailed, and clearly well researched, list of eating options was very welcome. We will definitely be staying at this property again.
