The staff was helpful, even holding my luggage after i checked out. the location rocks. It's so close to transportation (i mean, really close!). i appreciated the clean and intelligently designed room. It had tons of space for everything.
the street outside can get a little loud, especially if you like the window open.

The hotel's location across from the train station was certainly convenient for my travel plans.
The room showed signs of wear , with issues in the bathroom. The shower proved difficult to operate , resulting in water everywhere. It seems some maintenance is in order.
