Wonderful Stay, A Detailed Review

direct ticket purchaseconvenient locationfree watergreat restaurant food
The hotel helped me buy a train ticket directly. The location near the train station was convenient. A staff shortcut got me there in only six minutes, better than maps indicated. Free water in the room was a nice touch, appreciated after travel. I was really surprised by the restaurant food. It tasted great.
The fan cycled on and off every minute, blowing air then stopping. A blue light turned on with each cycle. This made sleep difficult for me.
