Riverside Retreat
amazing spacecomplimentary toiletriespowerful showeron-site parking
I stayed in a riverview superking or twin room, and I thought the space was amazing. The bathroom included complimentary toiletries and a powerful shower. The views of the river from the room were just FANTASTIC!!! I also enjoyed the convenience of the on-site parking. It made arrival and departure very easy.
The breakfast buffet, though diverse, sometimes suffered from items not being replenished quickly enough during peak hours.
