Guest Reviews & Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better location at the hotel - right on the canal next to the bridge! The views from the living area were absolutely wonderful. The rooms were cozy, especially with the fireplace and balcony. However, I was a bit surprised to be charged $100 more in less than 24 hours due to 'events' happening in the area.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The rooms had wonderful views from the living area, and the service was top-notch. However, the dining options could be improved. The location was perfect for watching boats and exploring the area, and the facilities were great.
The hotel offers a delightful stay with rooms that are clean, comfortable, and provide a balcony with a great view of the lift bridge. The service is attentive, from housekeeping to arranging tours, although the price could be a bit more budget-friendly. Its location right on the canal next to the bridge is a real highlight, offering a serene setting close to attractions and dining options. The dining experience, with bakery items from a local bakery included, adds a charming touch to your stay.
