Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very close to the train stations, so that was convenient, thecroom wasctoo small for two people to sleep in, was supposwd to be a twin room, wasnt big enough for two beds, and neither for one person, it was very hot, no air con, was a fan but not good enough to cool the room, the beds were very comfy though, we decided to only stay for one night but checked in and paid for 2 nights
