It’s a continental breakfast which is just ok. Staff are helpful and approachable. For parking well, first come first serve since we are in a city so public parking is hard to find. Being located near a train station is already a bonus for me. lastly, there are restaurants that are walking distance. This hotel Recommendable to my friends!
