I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with spacious and clean rooms adorned with lovely wood accents. The service was top-notch, and the location was very convenient, especially for those arriving by train. However, the dining experience left room for improvement, and the hotel lacked self-adjusting floor temperature, which was managed inadequately. Overall, a great value for money option with some areas that could be enhanced.
