The hotel is located at the end of Platform 1 in the train terminal, making it very easy to walk to the hotel and walk to a train. It’s also a couple of small steep streets from the dining options and another small block to the street where the Promenade is located.

Staff was great. The place was very clean. It's located right on the train tracks, which was surprisingly very quiet. Didn't even hear the trains going by. Minutes away from everything in town.

You can walk to the hotel straight from a platform at the train station. Beds were comfortable. The hotel is within walking distance to local restaurants and shops.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Excellent staff were very helpful, particularly with a somewhat tech-challenged senior. The room was a good size but the headboard on one of the beds is detatched and kept banging off the wall. Also, the electrical outlets are blocked by that bed. It would be a problem if more than one person occupies the room.

Although my GPS took me out of the rail station and on a 7 min walk on two streets in the rain…I realized the next morning I could have walked for two minutes without ever leaving the train station. You just continue to walk towards a tall glass building at the end of Gleis1 and there you will find yourself at the hotel. Enjoyed viewing all the old photos of Freddie Mercury in the hotel lobby. When we entered our room and discovered one overhead light and one desk light were out, the front desk person immediately had a maintenance person replace the bulbs while we were out to dinner. Preventing us from changing rooms….I would recommend the hotel to anyone wanting the best railway station location…so convenient. Found the staff efficient and caring.
