Adequate Stay Near the Station

convenient locationhelpful stafflimited daylightshower drainage
The location was quite convenient, only a short walk from the central train station. The staff was genuinely helpful. They allowed us to store our luggage before check-in, which I appreciated. The breakfast had a good variety, with many options available each morning.
The room lacked daylight, which impacted my experience. I am not accustomed to hotel rooms without a window. The shower drainage was not effective. I had to use a squeegee to push water toward the drain after each shower.
