I enjoyed my stay it was very close to the train station. Check in was easy and fast. The room was very clean and the breakfast was delicious. I need some help with planning my day and the young lady at night in the front desk. Was very helpful with guidance. We checked out very early and had no issues leaving the property. Would definitely stay again and recommend it.
