Emerald Residence
A very clean room with friendly staff and convenient albeit limited parking. Our issues came from the rail radiator in the bathroom not working as well as the bathroom being cold overall. The check in and check out processes were seamless.

The river rooms are best as there is alot of early morning traffic in the roadside rooms. Other than that the hotel and staff were great.
