It’s a new property, everything is pretty, exactly like the pictures online. The location is perfect because it’s exactly at the train station, so it’s very convenient. The breakfast buffet was very good, with a lot of variety. The staff was friendly and eager to help with anything we needed. It was a great find and I definitely recommend this hotel.
