EXCELLENT stay, minor issues.

easy accesscomplimentary minibarriver view
The location suited my conference needs, as the hotel connects directly to the event center. This made attending sessions straightforward. I parked using self-parking, and elevators were available from the car park directly to reception. The complimentary mini bar was a bonus. It was restocked daily. The room overlooked the river.
The gym felt somewhat small given the overall size of the hotel, it has limited equipment.
