I was actually surprised by the proximity to the train station. It was only a short walk. the breakfast had a decent selection, and i discovered i could order eggs cooked to order, not just scrambled. the bar staff was very friendly, something i value a lot.

I noticed the hotel lacked hooks in the bathroom for hanging towels. It was quite an inconvenience.

The hotel is conveniently situated, providing easy access to the city center. Breakfast offered various food choices, and the public areas displayed modern decor. Our room was spacious and clean. The bathroom seemed newly renovated. I found parking straightforward due to the proximity to key routes.

The gym is rather small, limiting workout options, with only a few machines available and not much free space.
