decent stay near the station

train stationshort walkspacious roomclean bathroomclosed buildingolder buildingworn interior

the hotel has a good location near the train station, only a short walk away. my room was spacious and clean . i found the bathroom to be in a nice and clean condition.

when i arrived, the building looked closed, which worried me until i saw a note with a phone number at the side entrance. i think an email explaining this beforehand would have been useful (maybe i missed it?). the building seems older and a little worn inside.
