the breakfast was acceptable.

The key card system did not work. i found this out only after the reception staff gave me a card that was already known to be faulty (i really hate wasting my time). requesting a second key was also refused, requiring me to wake up my family member for assistance. It felt quite inconvenient.

Excellent Stay near the Station

larger roomhelpful staffbreakfast choicemain station

I received a complimentary upgrade to a larger room it was a nice surprise. Breakfast had many choices that included both sweet and savory items. The staff at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. The hotel is very close to the main train station which was convenient for my arrival and departure.

The shower door did not completely prevent water from escaping so the floor got wet. I had to use extra towels to manage it
