"The rooms we stayed in are not your standard 'box' rooms, there were interesting angles and alcoves, not to mention stunning views over the river and windows that open."
"It's so nice to be right on the river (for the view, of course- but also to have a peaceful spot in the city)."
"I can't begin to explain how beautiful I thought this property was."
