Mixed Experience at Budget Accommodation

misleading parking inaccurate address

The listing mentioned 'Free Parking', but there were no dedicated hotel spots. Street parking was the only option. It felt somewhat misleading. I found the address on the website to be inaccurate. It resulted in about thirty minutes spent navigating the area's one-way streets to locate the hotel.

decent stay near the station

train station short walk spacious room clean bathroom closed building older building worn 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.
