The River Garden Hotel is in a great location for all tourist places. The hotel room was good, comfortable and well designed. I would suggest to add a full length mirror to the room. Staff was helpful and made good suggestions for restaurants.

Great place in a great location with professional, friendly and helpful staff, and room was clean and comfortable. The one criticism I have was the buffet food; it was meat heavy and not as fresh as I anticipated.
