Satisfactory Stay, Some Issues

train stationclose proximityhelpful stafffriendly staffhotel characterunique charactersuper hothigh temperaturefaulty cardkey cardreception tripfrequent reception
The train station was very close. It was just feet away. The staff was helpful. The hotel had a lot of character, unlike modern hotels today.
The room was clean and cozy, but it was super hot. I managed to open a window, which helped with the temperature. The key card failed to work every time I went back to my room. This meant a trip back down to reception.
