a decent place to stay

great locationgood selectionstreet noiseair conditioning
The hotel's location is excellent. it's super close to the main train station. i also found the breakfast to be quite good. There was a nice selection of meats, cheeses, and breads.
the lack of air conditioning was a real problem. it made sleeping difficult even with the fan and the noise from the street kept me awake at night. the room faced a very busy road.

The hotel location is EXCELLENT. It is very close to the train station. I appreciated how conveniently located the hotel was to transportation options.
The room was very hot. Only a fan was available, not adequate in the summer heat. I found the noise from the street below quite disruptive at night.
