The hotel is very nice, and perfectly located right across the street form the train station. The dtaff were friendly and the beds were nice. Only complaints i had was the AC wasnt the best and that there is only one place to plug in anything to charge your phone for example. There were no bed side plugs or bathroom plugs, only the coffee maker plug was one that could be used.
