"The room was very clean and had good amenities for the price. However, the toilet had a strong reek of sewage coming from it. We saw some plumbers working on it which made us feel better but the smell was pretty strong. The bed was comfortable but if you’re bothered by noise when you’re sleeping the train horn will wake you up."

"Breakfast was good, with plenty of options. Unfortunately, the hot tub wasn't able to be used at the time and the room phone didn't work. But the front desk staff were all super nice and helpful. Our itinerary said our check in was at 3pm, the hotel had changed that to 4pm a few months before. They got us checked in at about 3:10pm, as soon as the room was available. The room was clean, with very nice amenities. Coffee, with bottled water! Even makeup wipes, which was great, as I forgot to pack mine. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again."
