Clean and Convenient Stay

convenient locationclean roomcommon kitchenunclear directions

I found the location quite convenient, especially with the central train station nearby. The room was clean and provided the basic necessities needed for a short stay. I appreciated the availability of a common kitchen (it's handy for preparing snacks).

The hotel was difficult to locate initially because of supermarket signage. Finding the hotel parking was challenging (the directions were unclear). It turned out the hotel parking is shared with the supermarket.
