Meal was fantastic. Rooms are tidy. Main issue is rooms aren’t sound proof and also only has blinds so room full of light at night. Hear trains all night, shift workers talking and stomping on flor above and cars and trucks start about 3:30am. Really hard to sleep if shift worker.

Cleaning needs attention, bathroom particularly. Coffee mug was stained and there's no brush or dishcloth to clean up in the kitchenette. Tiny 32" TV on the huge wall opposite the bed, should be at least 40" to be seen at that distance.. The receptionist was friendly and helpful on check-in. I paid on check-in with a different card to the one I used to confirm the booking and an attempt was made 1.5 hrs later to charge my card that was used to confirm the booking, even though the account was paid in full??
