Solid Location, Simple Room

central location helpful staff super clean bedding firm bed

The hotel is near the rail station. The bed was firm. There is a decent shower. I found a fridge inside the room. It was a nice bonus to keep drinks cold. The staff member at check in was very helpful. He. The bedding was super clean. I slept well on my stay.

The noise from other rooms bothered me at night. I could hear conversations from other guests. The walls appear very thin. Mirrors were absent in the shared bathroom. This made grooming quite difficult.
