satisfactory stay overall
great locationcentral locationcomfortable roomcozy roomamazing decorbreakfast qualityinconsistent cleaninginconvenient milk placement
the location proved excellent. i found it very close to the train station, a real convenience for me. the room had lovely decor and felt quite comfortable (a nice haven after my travels). i could have definitely stayed longer to fully appreciate it.
The breakfast had some shortcomings. the scrambled eggs seemed undercooked, and i often skipped breakfast. i also noticed that milk wasn't always placed near the cereal. i sometimes had to request that my room be cleaned. It should have been more consistent.
