The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with a provided heater, though slightly dated. The service was very helpful and friendly. Its ideal location, directly opposite the train station and near shopping options, adds to its appeal. However, the dining experience was lacking and disappointing.

The hotel had a mixed experience with well-decorated, clean rooms but with some furniture mismatch and a dirty carpet. The service was friendly and helpful, though the room was reassigned from the original choice. The location was convenient for various activities, including visits to nearby stores and train stations.
