modern decor railway station proximity efficient staff lack of parking cleaning issue mold issue
The room i booked was spacious. It had stylish modern decor in blue, grey and oak colors. The location is close to the station. It is only a one-minute walk. The staff was very attentive and efficient.
The hotel does not provide on-site parking. I wish the hotel advised guests to download the station car park app before arrival. The overflow in our room needed better cleaning. I saw some mold there.
