“What strikes me is the thoughtful conversion of this one-time industrial space into a boutique hotel that highlights the adjacent river. Original wooden beams and exposed pipes lend a rustic feel, softened by modern amenities and updated rooms. The location, slightly removed from downtown, provides a uniquely peaceful experience along the riverwalk.”
