I had a lovely stay at this spa hotel, where the rooms were spacious and well-kept, offering a comfortable retreat after a long day. The location right on the river added a serene backdrop to my experience, but I found the dining options to be somewhat lacking in variety. The pool area was a highlight, providing a great space to relax, though I wish the service had been a bit more attentive. Overall, it's a good value, but there are areas that could use some improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this spa hotel where I truly felt pampered. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the staff provided excellent service throughout my visit. The rooms were clean and offered a cozy ambiance, but I expected a few more amenities for a top-end experience. The spa treatments were outstanding, but I wish they offered a wider variety.
