Very nice Stay!

modern accommodationsattentive servicecrowded gym
The accommodations were modern! The river view from my room offered a beautiful perspective of the city lights at night. The staff provided attentive and helpful service. They were really nice. I got gluten-free bread at breakfast. The chef cooked fried eggs to order, and the staff prepared almond milk for my coffee..
I found the gym fairly busy. It seems to be a popular spot for hotel guests and locals alike. While not a major issue, more equipment and space would certainly enhance the experience.
