Solid Stay Near the Station!

I found the location convenient, right next to the train station. The airport bus stop was also nearby! The included breakfast offered a good range, with hot options and croissants.
The small parking area was somewhat inconvenient.

The breakfast buffet included sausages and good apple juice, a good start to the day. Croissants were available along with a hot selection that featured scrambled eggs, bacon, and tomatoes. The coffee machine provided a great option for a morning boost.

Adequate stay near the station

convenient locationgood selectiondated decorwindow closure
the location proved convenient, situated very close to the train station. the breakfast included a good selection of items and satisfied my needs prior to travel.
the decor showed signs of wear, appearing somewhat dated throughout the premises. i also noticed that the window in my room did not fully close, causing a slight draft and some noise from outside.

i found the location very convenient near the train station. it made traveling quite easy. my room was clean and had the basics i needed for my stay. the breakfast included a reasonable variety of options.
the downstairs toilets were out of order . this meant i had to go up to my room each time i needed to use one, that wasn't ideal. i also found the air-conditioning unit turned off during the night. i woke up feeling uncomfortably hot.
