helpful staffdirty windowslong walk

The staff were helpful. They had umbrellas available by the main entrance to borrow if there was rainy weather.

I disliked the dirty passageway windows. They had many spider webs. I stayed on the second floor (not that it matters). The walk to the hotel felt long. It was about 10-12 minutes from the station with luggage.

basic stay with issues

cigarette smelllimited breakfast

a distinct cigarette smell permeated the entire hotel, even in my non-smoking room it was annoying. the cleaning staff's strong body odor was also an issue, as it filled the floor. breakfast options were limited to asian cuisine, and i found the choices unsuitable to my tastes.

the staff were helpful. they provided clear explanations regarding the amenities.

i was disappointed by the breakfast offerings. they leaned heavily towards asian cuisine, and the european options were limited (i could not find many options for my taste). the coffee machines looked quite unhygienic, which deterred me from using them.
