The spacious rooms, some featuring kitchens and balconies with nice views, provide comfortable accommodations; many appreciate the well-equipped bathrooms, including bathtubs.

close proximitypoor ventilationcomplicated system

The hotel's proximity to the station was acceptable. I could roll my suitcase there without too much trouble.

The lack of ventilation was shocking. The room seemed like a stuffy box, and i swear i saw dust bunnies doing laps under the bed. also, the 'free' transportation ticket was a farce. It only covered certain zones, and figuring out the system seemed like cracking the enigma code.
