“The location beside the train station is a real plus, as is the building's architecture which gives it a sense of history; rooms are spacious, particularly the executive ones, and the fitness center is well-equipped. However, the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse wasn't a high point, and some may find the absence of on-site parking a drawback. Overall, the hotel's strengths lie in its location and amenities.”
