Nice hotel right by train station. Room was clean and comfortable although hotel is a bit old. Staff very friendly. Unfortunately there is a bit of construction work at the train station currently which starts in the morning so don’t plan on having a lie in until this is finished

The main attraction of this hotel is that it is across the street from the station. My moderate sized single room was a little noisy from the heavy traffic on the very busy street. Not a bad pace for one or two nights. Desk clerk was very personable and helpful. 7/10.

The property is located across the train station, but the area has limited dining options in the evening. The hotel is convenient and meets the basic needs, so it is adequate for sleeping when on a business trip.
