Stayed here 2 nights with my teenage son in River view with 2 twin beds. Loved the location, with easy access to train station. Front staff even helped me find leather repair shop when my cross-body bag strap broke. We ate in the restaurant both nights with fabulous food and attention staff.

Property was under renovation/contruction. However, the front desk informed us of the hours when we would hear noise, and i was pretty accurate. The hotel was very nice and centrally located. I loved how close it was to the train station (less than a block) and of all the tourity areas.
