The location is amazing. You just get off the train and cross the street! the bus to the airport is right there too! the staff had a positive energy and were very friendly to all guests. the terrace downstairs was a nice quiet place to relax at night. It made a big difference.

My room had almost no electrical outlets. This was a slight inconvenience! also there was no complimentary coffee in the room.
