Good location, clean, good staff, good breakfast. Lots of train noise. Be careful when booking. Inside rooms are gloomy with no windows. Be especially careful not to be next to the elevator!

The staff was great, friendly and helpful. However, I was placed in a room with no windows. it was pretty unsettling to be waking up at 8 am in a pitch dark room. Very uncomfortable feeling. Whoever thought it was acceptable to sell windowless rooms should spend a few days in one.

This hotel was exceptionally beautiful. You can tell they have invested heavily in maintaining the historical character of the building. The staff was always friendly and helpful. We booked a trip on the train and this hotel made getting to the train in the morning as smooth as butter.
