The accommodations were very nice--roomy, clean, nice amenities. The biggest problem was a dog in the neighborhood that barked through much of the evening (and night). We called the desk, but they didn't know which neighbor had a dog and couldn't do anything. The front desk isn't open all the time, so get help when checking in.

Wonderfully furnished room. Great restaurant and bar downstairs.
The open bathroom and bedroom layout challenges even an old married couple in terms of using the toilet. 😉 Wish we had had time to take advantage of the tub.

This is a Best Western property and so that has to influence your expectations. As far as a hotel in this class, this was a great hotel. The room was clean and updated, the shower had hot water and high water pressure. The staff was friendly and while the check out time was 10am (a bit earlier) the hotel was more than willing to hold my luggage until an afternoon train so it wasn't that big of a deal.
