Acceptable stay, some issues

convenient locationgrocery storemodern roombroken lightsmall roomopaque glass

The hotel sits close to the main train station! Grabbing groceries was easy because a large Coop grocery store sits nearby. I found the rooms large enough for a city hotel and very modern! Breakfast impressed me. They provide a great assortment of quality breads.

The bedside light didn't work. I was told it would be fixed, but it wasn't . That lasted three days. The room was small, but I only slept there, so it wasn't a big problem. The wall to the bathroom was opaque glass. It felt awkward seeing a silhouette of family on the toilet.

convenient locationclean roomvaried breakfast

The location proved convenient. I was steps away from the main train station and could easily reach all the main attractions. i had a room without carpet, a plus for me (i prefer this for cleanliness). breakfast offered a wide array of choices. I particularly enjoyed the smoked carrots, a unique touch.

The temperature control was a bit tricky. I struggled to find a comfortable setting in the room.
