Would go there again

The rooms very clean and the beds are super comfortable. Awesome view. It also seems to be very well insulated as one could barely hear outside noises. The kids had fun in the pool

8/10 Very good

Nice enough room for the price and location. Had a nice view of the river and sunset. Air conditioner was a bit loud but at least it worked. Compared to other hotels in the area this was the cream of the crop.

Newly updated

A pleasant surprise. Quiet room with fun decor. Breakfast is just a bite but enough to get you back o the road. Helpful staff. Hotel is right beside the City's view point so aptly named.
ZO, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overpriced

Staff person who checked us in was unfriendly. She took a phone call and then left without giving us a room key. Her co worker had to finish the check in. There is an Indian restaurant on the property. The strong smell of curry in our room was a bit overpowering. Would not stay here again.
