the hotel location offered easy access both to the train station and the town center. i found the staff friendly and helpful. the breakfast selection featured a pancake maker, which my teens loved! the pool's operating hours, from 7 am to 10 pm, were also quite convenient.
the room decor seemed somewhat dated, a style i typically do not choose.
