average stay near the station
cigarette smell high breakfast price
The room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, particularly in the bathroom. It was quite unpleasant. i mentioned this to the staff, but nothing changed. also, i found the breakfast price to be quite high, especially considering the limited options. it seemed expensive for what was offered.
