“This spot prioritizes convenience with its proximity to the train station and the lively options nearby, and I think that's a solid win for a quick trip. While rooms can be a little inconsistent, particularly regarding temperature control and shower space, the staff's attentiveness makes a difference. It's a practical choice if location trumps luxury.”
