Mixed Feelings About This Place

bathroom mold hanging cobwebs
The location was pretty good. I could walk to the train station easily.
I found mold in the bathroom. Cobwebs hung from the corners in my room, so cleaning was not thorough. The building seems to need immediate repairs!

Convenient Stay Near the Station

comfortable bed quality sheets coffee machine
The room had a very comfortable bed with good quality sheets. There were many pillows for added comfort. Breakfast had an extensive range of options and included a cool coffee machine. The host allowed an early bag drop and offered tea with chocolates upon arrival.
I noticed some areas where upkeep is needed, like peeling paint. This requires attention to improve the overall appearance. I hope the owner can address these issues.
