perfect room river view reserved parking
The room size was perfect and the river view from it was excellent. I found reserved parking very convenient. The bar had a nice buzz about it. The spa was small yet nice.
Housekeeping was not fully up to par. Some consumables were not replaced. Linens and cleaning equipment were left in the corridor, impacting tidiness.

underwhelming stay near the river
bare walls mouldy grout
the room i received felt impersonal. bare walls and basic amenities did not reflect the price i paid. a constant noise from the vent sounded like a toilet flushing and bothered me (it was very annoying at night). the bathroom had mouldy shower grout, i think it needs more attention.

very nice location floor-to-ceiling windows good breakfast smooth check-in
the location was very nice! my room boasted floor-to-ceiling windows with amazing views of the river and the boats. breakfast was a delight with great service. checking in was smooth, thanks to the lovely service at the reception.
the housekeeping team occasionally congregated and chatted on our floor, possibly creating a perception of untidiness.
