Staff was lovely, however, I paid extra to upgrade to a suite only to be located in what looked like an extension of the hotel. Hallway carpets appeared dirty, doors severely battered. Also room 103 appears to have been possibly two rooms previously as the bedroom door had an electronic keypad on it of which our room key did not work on it so you could not close the door completely otherwise you would not be able to get back in. And leaving it open intruded on the space to get to the left side of the bed. The view or looked at the train station however it was very quiet and you could not hear the noise from the station or the street. Bonus, you’re extremely close to the train station!
