perfect location comfortable bed great bedding

The hotel location is ideal for train travelers. It is very close to the station, the room offered a nice view. our room was above a bar, so that was a nice spot to grab a drink. the bed was very comfortable, and bedding was great!

the reservation mentioned check-in was at 12:00 pm, but upon arrival, i was informed the room would be ready at 2:00 pm. i would have stayed longer at the airport lounge had i known!

the location is amazing and it was quiet. i appreciated the extra bed provided for my daughter and the proximity of our two rooms, located on the same floor. it was super useful for us, as we were travelling as a family.

the air conditioning was not working in the room and i couldn't get it fixed, so we had to open the window.
