reasonable hotel stay
friendly staff central location breakfast buffet street noise firm mattress limited channels
The staff was friendly. the location is central, placing me close to attractions. the breakfast buffet was fair, offering some variety. I enjoyed the scrambled eggs and sausages.
My room faced the street, so i experienced some noise. the mattress felt quite firm. I prefer a softer one. the television had limited channels.

central location smooth check-in spacious room old bathroom clingy shower curtain insufficient fan
This hotel enjoys a central location when visitors are traveling without a car. The train station is less than a five minute walk away. The heart of the area is about the same distance. Check-in was smooth, and the room was spacious. Coffee, tea, and bottled water were provided. There is a bar and restaurant on site. They offer optimal choices for a quick snack or a full meal.
The bathroom was old and dingy. The shower was not good. The shower curtain was very clingy. The tub shower combo was very high off the ground, so getting out was dangerous. The room was very hot. I understand they don't have air conditioning. It would have been nice to have a decent fan that could cool more than 2 ft in front of it.
