"Hotel was clean and very convenient location for us for one night near the train station. As other reviews mentioned, it was a little worn down, but still clean. I will say the bed was extremely comfortable and the room was very quiet! Breakfast area was really nice, there's a little pleasant patio which was a great place for a croissant and coffee before our journey. Would recommend, but just know that it is a little "tired" as some said. The room was well appointed though. Very useful to have the desk for instance and good places to hang our things."
