The location of the hotel is convenient. It is easy to access after exiting the train station. The room had a television screen. The staff ensured a swift check-in and check-out.

The iron in my room did NOT work. I called and waited 20 minutes. I still waited after that time. I needed to go to reception to resolve it.
