Great stay. Only one minor issue — the AC did not provide quite enough cooling. The staff provided a floor fan which met our needs. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice hotel kitty corner to the train station. Short walk to the main square and the river. There is noise from the street cars that run until about midnight. It didn't bother us but if you're sensitive to street noise it might be an issue.
