this place rocks i tell you! the staff were totally awesome and super helpful, especially since i needed a hand with my bag. the room was pretty quiet too considering the train track right there, i barely heard a thing. the location is killer, only a quick walk to town, i mean that's just great!
okay, so a couple of things weren't totally spot on. they wouldn't let me even though i had paid, bummer! also, i didn't like that i booked a double and got two singles, i mean, come on. major hassle!
