The rooms are right on the train tracks therefore we had difficulty sleeping. The staff/manager were not able to do anything to make this situation better which was frustrating. (IE move rooms, provide a discount...) It is very unfortunate as there were some positives about the hotel but the sleep deprivation made everything esle less enjoyable.
