ample space friendly staff quiet surrounding
the room offered ample space. friendly staff were available and the location proved convenient. i appreciated the upgrade upon arrival. the receptionist was pleasant and the bed was comfortable. even with the window slightly open, the surroundings remained quiet despite the nearby motorway.
i found the advertisement online to be slightly misleading regarding check-in times.

Acceptable stay near transportation
convenient location train station proximity recently decorated room dated room ripped bed cover dust accumulation
The hotel is close to the train station. It took about 20 minutes to walk to the city center. The room looked as if it had been recently redecorated.
The room seemed very dated. The bed cover had a rip. I saw poor cleanliness with dust on skirting boards.
