Fantastic Hotel Near the Station!

close location shopping center really good breakfast

This hotel is conveniently close to the train station and a shopping center. A 7-Eleven is practically in the lobby, a great perk. The breakfast was really good with a wide variety of choices each day (i loved the pastries!).

I noticed only one washing machine was available for multiple floors. This caused queues, with people waiting late into the evening.
