Staff was very warm, welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was served at the next door restaurant with the scenic view of the river and that alone was satisfying. There was a coffee machine by the elevator and I had a hot chocolate before bed to warm me up for the night. Parking is free which is really nice. Overall very wonderful experience.

The room I got was half the size with no balcony but cost the same as my sister’s room right next door. Hard to sleep with the train going past day and night and the sound of every flush in the hotel. I am in a Marriott room now that is twice as good for less than half the price.
