Property was very convenient for us during my daughter's soccer tournament. Room was great large space a bit dated but overall great, suite had mini kitchenet and worked great for us. Continental breakfast was good, and the kids enjoyed the options, then could have more toasters available so we are not waiting. Overall would definitely stay here again with my family.

It's ok...spider webs over the lights, balconies...surprised by $15 charge... it's hidden in the fine print. Was told it was for parking and breakfast, but on website says that's supposed to be included. Typical bait tactics to get you to book... instead of just including it in the price.

It's right next to train station with the worse train horn especially at night during sleep. No (do not disturb) sign. The bathroom handle was broken and i got locked in for a bit.
