I had a wonderful stay at a charming hotel in this city. The staff were friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome. The room I stayed in was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel had easily controllable air conditioning, which was a plus. The location of the hotel was perfect, being by the river and within easy walking distance to the shops.
