The staff were helpful and friendly. Having coffee and hot chocolate available in the room was very nice. Food ordering being available 24/7 was a appreciated service.

The room I stayed in felt noisy at times. I could hear people in the corridors, and it disrupted my sleep. Many central accommodations seem to have minimal space.
