The organized shuttle transport pickup for the train station at 7.15am never came, so we had to drag our bags and walk as fast as we could to make our connection. Very poor considering there were 2 other guests doing the same thing.

The room was a great size. How ever two windows had broken latches, one wouldnt even shut and the door safety chain was broken. The bed needs relacing as you can see the groves where people lie.
How ever the staff were very friendly and helpful

Convenient location but a bit hard to get to by foot (on other side of RailRoad tracks). Service was excellent and amenities were very good.
