“Right off the river and super close to everything, this place seems ideal for those traveling light; the greenhouse-style lobby is a welcoming touch. It's the kind of spot where the comfortable bed and view are enough to make it perfect for two. If fancy isn't a necessity, this could be a smart choice.”
