A convenient and basic hotel right at the Railway Station. Foyer and decor a little 'wacky'. Limited parking under which guests have to pay.

Ok hotel

The hotel itself was fine but unfortunately the breakfast was so horrible. No fresh fruits, in fact the only things available were frozen chopped up pieces. Reception is also super slow at serving. Overall was an OK hotel for a short stay but was a little depressing.

Air conditioning and parking not working.

Hotel was fine and front desk very nice and helpful. Room air conditioning was awlful. It would stop working after 30 minutes. Parking space while paid for (for other couple we were traveling and staying at hotel with)was usually not avaialble becuse of non paid parkers in garage. A solution needs to be found, or the front desk needs to provide valet service.
