an okay stay near the station

kitchen utensils helpful staff single beds small room

the room felt spacious and clean. it features kitchen utensils, which helped a lot, and the staff shows kindness when helping you. i like that the train station is in walking distance, saves a lot of time when i arrive.

the double bed was not a real double bed. it was only two single beds pushed together, and they separated while i sleeped. the room seems a bit small.
