Don't plan on sleeping

If you plan on sleeping , do not stay at this place. There are trains that run consistently right in front of the hotel and then they are so loud I could not even sleep. The hotel is pretty and Everyone is friendly but it is Impossible to get a good night's sleep because of the trains
