I've always loved this hotel. Lovely location right by the river, near enough to the sports venues for a pretty easy walk over the bridges.
Check in was pleasant as I've always experienced here, staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Rooms were clean but could use a bit of updating; finding a convenient outlet to charge my phone was a bit of a challenge.
One odd note, you must use your room key in order to turn the lights on in the room. There is a slot for that purpose just as you enter so, take my advice and get at least 2 room keys.
The restaurant attached to the hotel, a lovely, fine dining establishment called the Old Fishmarket, is slated to close at the end of October, 2014...in it's place is going to be a restaurant called "Bill's Burgers & Grill" I hear it is good, but we shall see next time I stay here.
There is the option of self-parking or valet parking on site at the hotel.
