central locationdated decorannoying parking setup
The hotel is central, so it was a 5-minute walk to the train station.
The room decor felt dated, like an early 00s throwback. The parking setup was annoying. You have to pay every time you leave the car park. One staff member even asked about my car usage plans. I expected to decide in.
