It could be that I'm just used to the conveniences provided by hotels in the US, but it seemed like everything here had an extra cost to it. The hotel staff were all very kind and spoke enough English to help us get by, for which I am very grateful. There is a train station nearby that will take you close to downtown Brussels, but you'll still have to walk a bit from the station. Alternatively, there is a bus that will drop you off right downtown.
