Probably the best hotel breakfast weve had. Fresh items brought out continually, kitchen staff kept checking to see if anything was needed. I'm a train fan, so I was enjoying the railroad art through the hotel

The doors to the rooms slam very hard unless a guest carefully shuts them. Also, the doors have a space underneath through which you can see light from the hallway coming through at night — and also, of course, noise from the hallway. They need to work on the doors.
