Staff were helpful. Mattresses were very hard and gave me terrible backpain. Rooms are small, cramped, and rather dated and so are the bathrooms. I would not stay there again.

Friendly staff, good breakfast, great parking and proximity to the train. Only complaint is the fan wasn’t working in the room, which led to some stuffy sleeps. One of the lightbulbs kept flickering as well so I had to remove it myself until I left. There was also a large family with multiple children running, screaming, and stomping at various hours with no regard given from the parents. Not a hotel issue but wanted to make note. Otherwise a pleasant experience, would stay here again.
