Convenient Stay Near Union Station

convenient location comfortable bed nice linen
The location was very close to the station, so it was easy for catching an early train. The hotel provided a refill station in the hallway. This was a great idea. Bed linens were very nice and the bed was comfortable.
The room was quite small. It was hard to fully open my suitcase.

The newly refurbished gym was a good surprise. It featured modern equipment that i found very pleasing. the location was ideal with steps to the station and easy access to various points of interest. It was a splendid convenience.
The room was smaller than expected. It felt a bit cramped when i settled in. the noise from the hallway was quite disruptive. I could hear every conversation passing by my door.

The hotel has a very convenient location, only steps from Union Station. The hotel staff were helpful and cute!!! The hotel itself presents a modern design and a nice cafe and restaurant. I found the room to be clean and well-equipped with all necessary facilities.
I noted some noise in the hallway, particularly the sound of doors closing, both at night and in the morning.
