"Room was decently clean. All staff we met were very friendly and helpful. The elevator got stuck just for a few minutes then started back up with a very scary crash. The train parked right in front of the hotel, so it was loud and we had to walk a ways to get around it to the shops and restaurants. ..."

"The cabin was exceptionally clean. My only complaint was the mattress on the bed. I hurt so badly when I got up every morning that I cut my trip by 1 day. I just couldn't take the pain of that mattress any longer."
