nice staffbroken heatingpoor breakfast
The staff at the hotel was nice enough, I suppose.
The room heating didn't work, leaving me shivering like a dog outside. The only solution provided was a pile of extra blankets, that did not helped much. the breakfast was a joke with the bare minimum on offer.

A Solid Stay Near the Station

The hotel's location was excellent, very close to the train station. I found the staff helpful and pleasant . The hotel provided parking, but the onsite parking was full. An alternative parking area was a short walk away.
The breakfast was simple, lacking any really good qualities.
