The location was AMAZING! It was very close to the train station. The front desk staff was very kind and helpful. The room was cozy. It was just what we were looking for. It also had a cute balcony.

There was no refrigerator in the room. It was inconvenient. The internet did not work one morning, when I needed it most. There was much noise in the hallways and from neighboring rooms, so I could not sleep peacefully.

The hotel sits in a central area, near many places to eat. It is easy to reach the train station and downtown. The walk from the hotel is convenient, taking only a few minutes.
