I stayed here in mid-February 2026, while they were GLOW Riverside. See they have now changed name to TARA Riverside. Great property, with a riverside location. The river view from my room was rather limited but the room was big and really great. Loved the balcony where I could relax with a local beer in the evening. A little bit out of the way when it comes to public transportation, but that is surely going to change soon. Would definitely stay again.
