Great location and services

The breakfast was great, with a very helpful staff. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The train stop was right behind the hotel, so we could go into the city to see the museums (highly recommended!) without driving. The front desk staff, with great grace, bailed us out of a problem we created accidentally. Definitely would stay here again.

I have stayed at Holiday Inns in the states that were not as nice as this. Our room was clean, comfortable and in good repair. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially given how late we arrived on our flight. They recommended the Dennys next door so we could get a meal after a long travel day. The breakfast next morning was wonderful!
