the location was close to the train station, made arrival straightforward.
the room i was given felt rather outdated. fixtures seemed a bit worn, and there was a general sense the room could use some updating. the bed wasn't particularly comfortable, especially since the mattresses felt quite hard and not supportive. this made getting a good night's sleep surprisingly difficult.
