The breakfast was acceptable. It had the usual options, you know.
the room safe didn't work, and it was reported twice but no one bothered to fix it, just great, isn't it? it's not like i had anything valuable to lock away, anyway.

Acceptable stay at a riverside hotel
convenient location friendly staff breakfast buffet full car park limited spaces unreserved spaces
The location is convenient, near the river. The adjoining bar had friendly staff. The breakfast offered a buffet. This suited my preferences.
The car park filled up quickly. Spaces are first come, first served. I found the lack of reserved spaces inconvenient.

distant parking broken showers
The hotel's location by the river was indeed lovely. finding parking was a real challenge upon arrival. I had to park quite far away. This was inconvenient! The spa access not included in the room price felt a bit off-putting, and several spa facilities were out of service, such as the experience showers, so that dampened the experience.
