We loved this hotel - beautiful world elegance and stylish appearance , our suite was tastefully furnished however our bathroom door was quite loud to close late at night when you don’t want to wake your partner ! If you don’t like noise at all this may not be for you / we could hear the rumble of trains underneath but it never bothered us

Really nice hotel in a convenient location. The staffed worked hard to make a room change to one with a walk-in shower but none were available for the dates we required. The tub has a high side to step over and the tub is slippery. Need a mat or something to prevent slips and falls. The staff is amazing!
