The location was convenient, especially its proximity to the train station. It was a useful feature.
I was disappointed that cooked breakfast cost extra. I thought all breakfast options would be included, but i had to pay an additional fee for cooked items.

mixed feelings after stay

signal loss unreliable housekeeping
the gym was above average with a good selection of equipment.
The television repeatedly lost signal and showed an error message. I alerted reception twice. they claimed maintenance had resolved the issue, but it was clear no one had even checked it. additionally, housekeeping was unreliable. Despite placing a card on the door, one day, we returned to find our room had been completely ignored.
