Convenient and comfortable

Comfortable bed, large room with everything you need. Shuttle bus to meet you at the station was a bonus. The motel is located in the road above the station. Close to the centre and supermarkets. The only downside was some loud guests who carried on until midnight without any regard for others.

Ok for one night.

Not a particularly friendly welcome when I arrived. Felt like I was putting someone out by ringing for attention. Disappointed I couldn’t get the late check in I needed prior to traveling back in the Tranzalpine train. This place must do a lot of business with the train service and it could be more flexible in this regard. Room was ok, very few TV channels. Clean, comfortable and functional.
