The hotel features on-site parking, which I found convenient. The room was large. The hot water pressure was quite powerful.

dusty drawers loose taps
The location proved convenient as it was a short walk to the train station.
The bedroom was dated. I noticed a significant amount of dust behind the drawers. The shower tiles exhibited mold, indicating a lack of thorough cleaning. the sink taps were loose. This showed a need for maintenance.
