We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's convenient to the train, subway and buses. The room was spacious for a family of four with separate enclosed areas for the toliet and shower/bath. The futon matresses were comfortable and relaxing. Sleeping with their robes was cool and soothing. Love their traditional breakfast and take away coffee. The staff was greeted us as exited and entered the premises. Will come back in the future.
