Convenient Stay Near the Station

convenient locationsmooth check-inhelpful staffbright lighting
I found the location convenient. It is right across from the train station. This made it easy to travel around the area and to access other parts of the city. The staff were helpful and check-in was smooth.
The lighting in the room was too bright. There were only two options, bright or off. It was hard to relax without softer lighting options.
