    Location a bit remote but perfect for where I had to go. Only self check-in, I never saw anyone. Nice, modern and big kitchen to cater yourself.

    The suites were nicely finished, warm, and comfortable. The location directly beside the river made for beautiful views and walks right out the front door. The shared kitchen was fully equipped and a lovely place to enjoy a meal and a few drinks....
