The location near the train station was very convenient. The hotel staff was really nice. The amenities corner supplied all the beauty needs for pampering myself . Though I didn't enjoy the afternoon tea, it adds additional value.

The shower head design in the bathroom wasn't ideal. The mirror was too small. I had some issues with the tv volume.
