I appreciated the location near the train station. It provided convenience for travel. The helpful staff gave a map with useful directions upon arrival. I also enjoyed the coffee, as it had superb taste and added value to the breakfast.

The room felt dated and could use some refurbishment. The furniture seemed old with paint coming off, and the floor looked not clean.
