The hotel has a charming old French colonial style design near the river, bars, and restaurants, offering a perfect location on a quiet street. The rooms, although small, come with all necessary amenities and have unique balcony access. The service is faultlessly helpful and happy to cater to travelers' needs, from car hire to laundry.
