Disliked: Staff & service
The room we had was carved up from the store below and it felt as you were in the center of an intersection. Cars and trains were running virtually outside the window. We called Expedia trying to change the room to no avail. We discovered a lot of nicer hotels with lower star rating in the immediate area.
