6.0 Okay
The hotel is under renovation, so no pool at the time. Train cars for lodging may be available 11/2023, but all are surrounded by chain link construction fencing now. Great location; easy to travel with free city electric shuttles.
A
4.0 Mediocre
Pros:Good location with nice restaurants nearby.
Cons:Poor quality linen makes loud noise at night. One person's turn will wake up the rest of the family. Terribly small bathroom; the door opens toward the toilet leaving no room for a parent and a kid. Old, peeling tub. Thin wall and doors. You can head clearly every word of people chatting in the hallway. Will not stay again.
