Great value hotel with great amenitities located o

GLOW Riverside is a great hotel right on the banks of the river, but very quiet. It has nice views of the river with the pool and restaurant overlooking it. There is a nice gym and the rooms are clean with very comfortable beds. Even our standard room was large with a large balcony. There was a buffet breakfast included with our stay that offered a full spread of Thai and Western dishes. The hotel is located near Chinatown
