the location was prime. it was near the station and in the center.
the room was noisy due to traffic. i understand this may be outside of the hotel's control (what can you do about street noise?), but i did not experience this level of noise at other hotels during my trip. after checking out, i was charged an additional amount. i emailed several times and received no response.
