Excellent Hotel Experience
train stationcomplimentary coffeesmall shower
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The proximity to the main train station was a definite plus, only a short walk away. the complimentary coffee and water in the lobby was a kind gesture, especially after long days.
The shower was quite small. It was a bit hard to move around comfortably. I think some redesign will be helpful.

Mixed experience with some issues
convenient locationineffective air conditioninglimited breakfast selection
The location was convenient to the train station, useful for day trips (i took a couple of those).
The air conditioning was not effective in my room. It struggled to cool the space adequately. I noticed a persistent musty smell in the bathroom. The ventilation seemed inadequate. i found the breakfast selection somewhat limited. There were few options beyond the basics.
