Excellent Hotel Right by the Station

convenient locationfree accessmany optionsportable unit
The location was super convenient, right next to the train station. It made getting around very easy! I had free access to the Active gym next door. The breakfast offered many options. The whole family loved it.
The air conditioning did not function correctly in my room though a portable unit was provided. I had to put the tube at the window which wasn't ideal.
