The hotel was clean. i found transportation easy to access near the hotel. the staff was friendly and helpful . I especially appreciated the courteous service i received. the hotel's location next to the train station made getting around simple.

the rooms felt a little underwhelming for the price. i think that a lack of storage isn't great for more than a weekend break!

the hotel is near the train station and restaurants are within walking distance. rooms are quiet and have multiple charging ports.

i found dust on surfaces like curtains and bedside tables. the room cleaning was not thorough as i found dust balls even after requesting a clean.
