the greeting from the staff set the tone. the room was spacious and clean. a bottle of bubbly awaited me on the terrace overlooking the river. i started everyday with an really good breakfast buffet with an array of dining choices.

the worker there didn't know anything, he had no change to give to a tourist and didn't try to help the customer.
