delicious breakfast train station
The breakfast was cooked to order each morning and was delicious. The location is close to the train station, which i appreciated (it made travel easy).
The outside light above the steps to access my room wasn't working, a little difficult to see at night.

adequate stay.
comfortable bed tasty breakfast loud music room viewing
The room included necessary items. The beds were comfortable. The hotel bar offered local beer and whiskey in the evening and tasty breakfast in the morning.
I COULD not view the room before paying. I was not told about loud music below our room. It lasted till after 1:00 AM, preventing sleep.
