"Super stay for 2 nights. Staff attentive and helpful. If you have issues with stairs, be sure to ask for a room that doesn't require extra stairs even after exiting the elevator/lift. Only down side was the occasional noise ar street level, but that's not the hotel's fault. The closeness to the train station made the area worthwhile."
