Wonderful hotel with amazing location right next to train stop. When we arrived we were offered a bigger room since we were 4 people. It was a 2 bedroom apartment with full kitchen and living area and balcony with a beautiful view. All windows were noise proof so we would never even notice there was a train line nearby. Their breakfast buffet was very complete with a huge variety of both cold and hot choices. Staff was very nice and efficient and bed were very comfortable and clean. I would definitely stay here again.
