the breakfast had a good selection (i especially liked the croissants).
the room was quite small and felt outdated. the decor seemed like it hadn't been updated in decades, and the furniture showed significant wear. i was expecting something more modern for the price i paid.

The location provided direct access to the train station. The provided breakfast was excellent with varied options. I also found the staff to be both friendly and helpful. They readily stored luggage after i checked out, which i appreciated.
The room needed updates as i noticed peeling walls. The bathroom door also proved difficult to open and close. Coffee making facilities lacked milk.
