decent stay NEAR train station

helpful staff good amenities uncomfortable bedding strange smell

The room was clean with all the amenities i needed. The staff was very friendly and helpful, i appreciate that. The hotel is in a busy shopping street, that was great. AC worked well, and i got a good night's sleep with the window closed.

The bedding was uncomfortable. The pillows made sounds with every move, i did not like this. There was a strange smell from the bathroom, i couldn't figure it out. The location is in a very busy and loud area.
