EXCELENTE LUGAR
Pros:

Me gustó mucho donde estan ubicados porque tienen muchos lugares de comida y entretenimiento muy cerca del Hotel. Además que tiene una estación del tren muy cerca y una parada del bus.

Cons:

No hay algo que no me gustó, creo que todo estuvo bien. Tal vez mejoraría un poco la entrada al Hotel ya que fui cuando estaba nevando, todo estaba lleno de nieve y agua, eso dificultaba el poder subirse al auto, pero es algo muy minimo.
