riverside rendezvous, a dream come true

Ismail upgraded us, giving us a beautiful river view room! the location proved perfect for the ovo hydro concert. It made everything so easy. i found soft towels and separate shampoo and conditioner, these little touches made all the difference. i appreciated the attentive staff and the overall cleanliness.
The air conditioning was practically non existent. It made it a little stuffy at times though not too badly.
