Acceptable stay overall

convenient locationbalanced pricestraffic noisedubious stain
The location is quite convenient to the train station, i found. It is also easily accessible to the rest of the town. The staff were kind (very professional). I also had a couple of dinners in their restaurant. I found the food really good, with balanced prices.
My room was noisy because of traffic on the main road. The bed was the worst i have experienced in a while. I saw a dubious stain on the bed runner, unpleasant. The room was lit up at night by the bright green exit sign.
