Convenient stay near the station

convenient location friendly staff room safe

The hotel's location proved very convenient, as it is close to main areas and transportation options. The staff members were friendly and helpful! The room had a safe for securing valuables. I found the rooms to be clean and modern.

The room had very poor lighting. There was also a lack of even a small refrigerator. A kettle was present, but it was very dysfunctional.
