Hotel was situated next to the river and although very close to the airport it was quiet and very scenic. The rooms were a little dated although our shower pressure was amazing. Evening meal was a bit hit and miss. I wasn’t impressed with the price or quantity of mine but others said their meal was nice. The breakfast however was amazing and the gentleman running it was extremely organised and accommodating to our needs. Definitely worth the money.
