convenient stay near station

my room included a mini fridge i used for drinks. the hotel provided complimentary public transport passes which i found helpful. i appreciated the proximity to both the train station and the lake i walked to often.
my room did not have air conditioning despite this being advertised. the receptionist explained that the owners had disabled it which was disappointing. the room became quite warm at night making sleep difficult.
