The location is a BIG advantage, close to the station. The staff WERE helpful and very friendly at all times.

convenient location and friendly service

the location proved very handy. i found it close to the station and other key areas. early check-in was available and i could leave my bags after checking out. this convenience made my travel smoother.
during my stay, the hallways showed significant wear, especially the carpets and walls. it detracted slightly from the overall impression.

Acceptable Location, Room Issues

helpful staffwall molddirty windows
The location is good. It's central. I also appreciated the friendly, helpful staff.
The room was small (I booked a standard double or twin room). I found mold growing in the corner of the room up the walls, quite disgusting. The windows were also filthy. It looked like they hadn't been cleaned properly after recent decorating (tape residue was still visible).
