Kathryn

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I really enjoyed the breakfast and the breakfast staff. One of the maids kept taking the toilet paper from my room. I thought that was rude and strange. My travel guide had a difficult time speaking to me when he would contact the hotel. Someone told him that they could not connect him to my room telephone. This became a problem for me until I was able to fix the problem with one of the front desk employees. The location is excellent; however, the tram line is extremely noisy into the late-night hours. The noise also starts early in the morning, and it interrupted my sleep.
