The location is convenient (a real plus for travelers!). I stepped right out of the train station and the hotel was there. The reception staff was great. They created a warm, boutique hotel feel despite the size.
I found a slight inconvenience. There was no phone in my room, so I had to walk to the front desk for assistance.
