Clean and Comfortable

Whole facilities are kept clean, and staffs are professional. I needed to leave early, 24H reception service was convenient. They pay attention for eco, as the frequency of changing sheets and so on (every 4 days), and amenities are prepared at front to not to waste. Totally very comfortable.

A perfectly normal hotel, bonus for having a bathtub in the room. The only drawback is that it's a fair walk from the train station if you happen to have luggage.
