My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, offering a modern bathroom with a view overlooking the station and a small park. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring I had a warm welcome and great recommendations for local dining spots. The location, though convenient near the railway station, was a bit noisy due to the main road.
