Railway Romance Revisited

The staff were so kind I reminded me of royalty. The complimentary breakfast included many choices like pastries and fruit. The location was close to the station entrance making travel very easy. I enjoyed the railway memorabilia used in the decoration. It felt appropriate and charming.
The small basins in the bathrooms caused water to spill onto the floor.
