Rooms had unique retro feel to them. Clean hotel. The set up of the hotel is a bit odd. I wish the breakfast had a rotation of different menu items instead of the same offerings each day. Although the food was very tasty.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was nice and clean. The bed was pretty comfortable and the bathroom was of a decent size. I stayed in a queen suite. The only complaint I had was that the AC was a little too good. I was sometimes very cold. As I stated in my title, the hotel was to me a good distance from everything. I traveled alone, however, and don't find having to take the train to various destinations a deal breaker.
