train station extra towels great location

the hotel is near the train station.. it's super easy to find, a big plus for travelers. i got extra towels with no problems. i also found the location ideal for reaching many restaurants and attractions.

the lack of immediate parking options nearby was a real problem. i ended up paying a hefty price for parking elsewhere, nearly doubling my expenses.

heater malfunction shower maintenance

the room was just not up to par. the heater barely worked, so it was pretty cold in there, and i saw this was a known issue, frustrating. also, the shower needed some serious fixing. the sink water wasn't very hot either.
