mixed experience with some issues
convenient location station access cramped room stuffy atmosphere
the location was convenient to the station. it was easy to access transportation.
The room i got was smaller than expected. The twin guest room felt cramped and a bit stuffy. i really think they could have made better use of the space. it wasn't a total disaster, but not great

crisp linens central location
my room had a snug double bed with crisp linens , and i slept soundly. the location was central , across from the railway station , so it was easy to reach nearby attractions.
the older building design meant i could occasionally hear sounds from the hallway.

The breakfast was acceptable it had decent service.
The room was dark it was also impacted by noise from what sounded like a staff or fire exit staircase nearby. The receptionist did not greet us in a friendly manner and seemed uninterested. I did not feel welcome at check-in.
