Decent stay at a good spot
great location many restaurants convenient space small room cheap tv low-quality toilet paper
The hotel enjoys a great location near the train station. Many restaurants are nearby which is a huge plus. The front room provided a convenient space to work. This was especially helpful after I checked out because I waited for someone with work meetings.
My room was very small and lacked space for luggage. There was no wardrobe for unpacking. The television was cheap and constantly froze. Also the toilet paper was very low quality and disintegrated easily.
