Adequate but Overpriced
soft beds dirty bathroom
The location was convenient for accessing transportation.
I found the room needing significant updates. The beds were uncomfortably soft and of poor quality. the bathroom cleanliness left much to be desired with a shower screen that looked quite unhygienic

train station off-street parking shower screen soft bed
The location provided convenient access to the train station. Off-street parking was available at the premises (quite a relief!).
The shower screen in the bathroom needed some attention. I also found the bed to be softer than I prefer.
