awesome place for a short stay!

functional roomtrain stationstrange smell

I found several facilities available, including a gym and laundry, a pleasant surprise! the room size was good. it was clean and functional. Everything i needed. its proximity to the train station made day trips easy, definitely a plus for me.

The self-service check-in process was a bit impersonal. I had to use screens on a round platform to check myself and my companion in. also, the strange smell throughout the hotel was a little off-putting and i wish there was a better solution for it.
