I didn’t really didn’t appreciate being in the palace wing. Up stairs and no small fridge in the room. The train was practically outside our window starting to make noise at 8 am. Breakfast is really midiocre.

Awesome convenient location. Staff were very helpful and would quickly clean your room. If you like the train station location, be ready to hear the “choo choo” that’s so iconic of old school trains. Great for photos
