convenient and clean

train stationefficient check-incomfortable bedlow pressure
the location is very close to the train station a short walk made travel simple the room check-in process was fast and efficient i was actually surprised to find a fridge stocked with bottled water in my room the beds were comfortable ensuring restful nights after long days.
the bathroom was quite small and the shower had low water pressure , made showering less enjoyable i think improvements in the bathroom would greatly enhance the guest experience at this hotel the showerhead was old.
