A reasonable stay.
comfortable lobbyextra large pillowwarm roomuncomfortable breakfast
The location was central. Close to the train station. I found the lobby area comfortable. The bed included an extra large pillow.
The room was quite warm, a definite downside. Staff, however, kindly provided a fan to help. Breakfast had its area situated before the reception area. Both doors opposite each other were open every morning, so it was cold and uncomfortable to eat.
