underwhelming stay at riverside location

soiled carpet difficult window
the room felt quite dated (specifically the furniture). the carpet had some noticeable stains. i also found it difficult to open the sash windows to get some fresh air, as they seemed to be stuck. it wasn't a great experience, especially considering the price i paid.
