The staff WAS excellent and the location was very convenient.
My room faced the railway line. The noise from the trains running ALL night made it IMPOSSIBLE to sleep. It sounded like the train was going to crash right into the room. I would NEVER stay in that room again.

The location was excellent. It was just a few minutes walk from the station (so convenient!). the staff were friendly and helpful, and check-in and check-out were efficient. they stored our bags for a few hours until our train home. I appreciated this extra touch.
the room we stayed in was small and located in the basement. i could also hear the noise from trains at night, and this did affect my sleep.
