Loved how close to the train station this hotel is, as well as lots of shopping and dining options right around. The breakfast buffet was very nice. I was allowed to check in earlier than typical check-in which was super helpful after travel from the U.S.

So convenient for the rail station but also quiet and a very nice room. The staff were lovely. Area around the hotel was pretty, walking away from the station. We walked for 15-20 minutes and found the most beautiful restaurant by the water. Fabulous! Bed was a little squishy but otherwise perfect!

Christine at the check in desk was super friendly and efficient, also gave us good advice on parking. All the staffs we came across with are very friendly and the hotel location is excellent.

This is a good basic no frills hotel. The bed was very hard so it wasn’t good for me. The bathroom is small with the tiniest sink - which was awkward. The towels were nice but the linens and pillows thin and worn. The staff was wonderful, friendly and informative. The location perfect.
