convenient locationpoor serviceuninterested staff
the location was convenient near the train station which was helpful after a long journey.
the front desk service left much to be desired the men working there seemed uninterested in assisting guests when i asked about cooling the room since the ac was off for the season i was dismissed also the room was above the laundry area adding to the discomfort i'm not sure it merits its rating.
