“cant recommend”
The accommodation is nothing like the pictures. It’s not even close. We were so shocked that we ended up booking another hotel once we already checked into this one because it was so bad (and we really are used to a lot). There’s a chlorine smell all over which is especially bad in the hotel rooms. The furniture in the room and hotel was extremely run down, had scuffs, marks and was - again - NOTHING like the pictures - like all the furniture was bought at a garage sale. The hallway where the rooms were reminded us of the Jeffrey Dahmer apartment complex. The area is rather unsafe and there’s a stench of weed, piss and chlorine when entering the parking lot. The cars in the parking lot looked extremely damaged and it made us worry about whether our rental would be safe here a full night long. Just from a safety perspective, you should not stay here and for what it offers it’s too expensive.

“Good value for what you pay”
Very convenient to public transport, great to have a quick continental breakfast every morning, save a lot of time when rushing while on holiday.

The hotel room is relatively large, the facilities are directly proportional to the price, and it is a more suitable choice to stay for a few days. It's just so close to the train tracks, it's a little noisy. Parking is easy.
