BJ's place is very clean. The kitchen is beautifully renovated and well equipped - plenty of utensils and dishes. I was a little worried about the train noise given the previous review; you can hear the trains, but it was not an issue for us. The location is terrific. My daughter had a sports tournament at the Convention Center and we did not want to stay downtown. BJ's place was a short drive there (about 15 minutes without traffic) and was very convenient.
