friendly staff great breakfast dirty carpet filthy curtains
The staff were cute when I arrived. Breakfast had a good variety of options! The location is really close to the train station. All points of interest were within walking distance
The stairwell carpets looked dirty, which did not give a good first impression. I noticed some net curtains on the stairwell were filthy. I thought that the carpets were not vacuumed.
