The location is right by the river and in the middle of town convenient to dining and walking around town. Weekend nights are really loud in the area because of music and karaoke outside in the camps or the bars in the street so use the earplugs that you see in the front desk.

Parking was good, room and air conditioning were good. We booked our room last minute, but the hotel was obviously not full, yet we were given a room towards the back and very, very small. The location is the best, walking distance to everything. I would recommend staying here, but we just weren’t happy with the room we were given.
