clean, comfortable stay near the station

convenient location easy self-check-in fresh croissants

I found the location quite convenient. It was an easy walk from the train station. the self-check-in process worked without a glitch. breakfast had many choices. I especially liked the fresh croissants and scrambled eggs.

finding parking nearby proved difficult. i had to search for a "blue line" spot, which wasn't ideal
