Woohoo! Great Spot Near Everything!

This location rules! It's just a hop from the main station, easy access guaranteed. A supermarket is super close, that makes grabbing snacks simple. I found the value to be spot on for what you pay. I enjoyed the supermarket proximity.

You cannot beat this central location. The train station is steps away. A quick stroll gets you to the city center and lots of dining choices are around, including cafes and fast food spots.

the location was acceptable near the station.

The key card did not work when i arrived. i had to ask someone to open the door. there were four beds, but only two were prepared so i had to prepare the other beds myself. someone opened the room at midnight. They gave the same room to another client by mistake and it scared my family. the staff did not make up the room for the other nights
