charming stay near the train station

wide varietycomfy beddifficult adjustment

the location is very handy for the railway station and subway. i enjoyed the breakfast buffet each morning. there was a wide variety of food options, i felt i had more then enough to choose from. the room was clean and the bed felt very comfy.

the air conditioning i found a bit difficult to adjust. i couldn't seem to get the temperature quite right. it was either too warm or too cool. i would have like it to be easier.

The location is fantastic. it's super close to the subway station. This made getting around so easy. the facilities were wonderful. I especially loved the in-house restaurant, and the breakfast had so many options. plus, the staff are friendly and helpful.

the rooms seemed a bit outdated. i also found the temperature control difficult. it was hard to get the room cool enough, and that was a bummer. the design feels old, like they are due for a remodel. i noticed a molding smell in the bathroom too.

The location near the railway station proved convenient. The breakfast buffet displayed many options I enjoyed. EVERY day I found fresh fruit and pastries that were delicious. The staff assisted me with directions and transport, they were so helpful.

The gym equipment showed some wear and tear, a LITTLE disappointing.
