Solid Hotel near the Station

train station large bed helpful staff

The location is convenient. It is a few minutes to the train station and the city center. The rooms are nice and the bed is large. Breakfast had many choices and the staff was very helpful. I stored my luggage there when i arrived early.

The heat in the room did not work. It was freezing. The hotel did not have a way to help us with that. We just got extra blankets.

Rooms

Our room was big and clean. The hotel provided modern bathroom fixtures. The bathroom included a rainfall shower, so we could freshen up quickly after a long day of travel. We were comfortable.

good breakfast many choices great location missing lights confusing switches wall damages

The location of this place is great. It is only minutes from the train station. The breakfast included many choices and was a very good start to the day. The air conditioning worked very affectively in my room.

I discovered several lights were out in the bathroom area. I think the light switches lacked clear labels. This resulted in some confusion when trying to operate them. I did noticed some minor damages to the walls.
