The location is quite convenient. The hotel offers a free shuttle service to and from the station. The room size was nice. It offered plenty of space to walk around and store luggage.. The bathroom was a highlight. It was huge with a very large tub. The toilet was separate, which I liked a lot.
The breakfast was not great. I found the food selection quite average. I also had some issues getting an iron. When I called housekeeping, they kept hanging up or were silent when I spoke English. They advertised certain products but I did not receive any of this brand's items .
