“Location is key here; you're right by the train station, which makes getting around effortless. I'm impressed by the recent bathroom renovations, which suggest a commitment to modern comforts. The rooftop bar undoubtedly elevates the experience, offering views that few can match. Still, a few areas need to catch up to the rest of the hotel's aspirations.”
