“Excellent location. Good facilities. Good gym. Friendly staff.” - Aj“The River Hotel is in an excellent location, though unfortunately I didn’t realize it was right across from a Trump tower so seeing that every day when looking out the window or going outside was awkward. The hotel room itself was clean and beds...”
