decent stay Near station

helpful staff good breakfast worn entrance stairs issue

I stayed one night. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was good (especially the pastries!). I found the train station very close. It was just across the road.

the entrance to the building looked a little worn. I struggled a bit with my luggage since the lift starts from the first floor, so i had to carry my bags up some stairs first (it wasn't ideal).

broken safe dirty carpet

the location suited my needs. it was near the train station which was convenient (i had an early departure).

I was disappointed by the lack of a working safe in my room. staff confirmed no rooms had functioning safes, a concern for securing valuables. the carpets was old and dirty. I hesitated to walk on them barefoot.

The location proved convenient, especially with the train station being just across the road. I was able to quickly settle after arriving. the staff were helpful and allowed me to store my bag after checkout. This let me explore without being burdened. i also appreciated being able to wait in the lobby before my transportation arrived later in the evening.
