Once again, a great stay at the Journal for a work trip. I have stayed many times before, but think this was my first room on the front of the hotel, 9th floor. Better view than the rear, but unfortunately, also noisier at night with both traffic noise and music from somewhere? The staff, accommodation and food was as usual, fantastic. Will definitely stay again, but will ask for a rear room next time.
