The location was great near the train station. The room was very clean and well-equipped. I liked that the windows opened. It was a nice touch.
The room was cold. I mentioned it, but the temperature remained low. The breakfast did not impress me much. Artificial juice was served. I found no water available on some days during breakfast. Staff response seemed indifferent.
