Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were nicely appointed with comfortable beds, a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, but the noise from trucks and trains was quite disruptive. The overall experience was decent, but there is room for improvement.
When I arrived, I was put off by a skunk-like smell in the room, which thankfully dissipated after I used some Fabreeze. However, the rooms were clean overall, and the noisy heater issue was resolved after they moved me to a different room. The maintenance seems lacking, though.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were quiet and suitable for those looking for a peaceful stay, the noise from trucks and trains at the front was quite bothersome. Initially, my room had a noisy heater, but the issue was promptly resolved by moving to a different room. The service was exceptional, with a wine corkscrew delivered straight to my door. However, there were some disappointments with the dining options. The location was convenient for my activities, and the hotel had good amenities, but there were also some drawbacks to consider.
