acceptable stay NEAR the station , but with issues

adults-only poolmisleading advertisement
The pool situation was very DISAPPOINTING. i booked this hotel mainly because it advertised a pool. My son was EXCITED to swim. upon arrival, i was told my son COULDN'T use the pool because it is adults only. they should not advertise a pool if guests can't use it, it is quite MISLEADING.

convenient locationhelpful staffcourtyard breakfastrainfall shower
I liked the very convenient location across from the train station. The staff was VERY helpful in directing me to nearby spots. I also appreciated the breakfast, it had many choices and the courtyard was nice. My room included a rainfall shower which was pleasant.
The neighborhood felt a little dodgy at night, I would advise vigilance.
