quick check-in good water pressure

the staff offered quick check-in, and they were always smiling. my room had a shower with very good water pressure, so i could properly wash myself.

the exit light was very bright, it made the room seem a little too green.

central stay, some street noise

short walk restaurant choice ground floor

Location was fantastic. The train station was a short walk. there were many choices for restaurants nearby. the staff were helpful when i arrived, ensuring i was on the ground floor, as i had requested, it helped with my bags.

My room faced the street, so street noise was present. it was constant until late at night. It impacted my sleep. It would likely be quieter.
