location good, other things less so

convenient locationsmall roombreakfast omission
the location near the train station was really good.
the room felt small, and i think the bathroom had only the bare minimum. when i said the room felt dark, the staff told me to turn on the light. also, breakfast wasn't included, this was disappointing.
