Good value for what you pay
Pros:

Very convenient to public transport, great to have a quick continental breakfast every morning, save a lot of time when rushing while on holiday.

Cons:

Train can be a bit load, as you are not use to it.

Dont go there, its not clean nor safe
Pros:

Right when we got there, in which we paid in advance, the first room that the young guy put us in, room 208 was where the strong smell of something that smelled like ethur smoothered the hotel, the smell was so strong even when you walked into the place it made you dizzy and nauseous. then he switched us to room 229, where the tv didnt work and wasnt even clean. finally, room 225 where it smelled like someone had been living in there for a year, like a mens locker room. but by the time we got to 225, we were so annoyed we just said forget it. We paid 137 dollars to stay in a hotel where there were countless streetwalkers, the doors arent safe, someone could come into your room with a credit card, when you walk down the hallway, its like a dog kennel there with many dogs barking. Before room 225, he tried to offer us a room where the air nor heat didnt work, refused to give us a discount, rude and the hotel is nasty. Oh, lets not forget their continental breakfast that ONLY entailed corn flakes, watered down milk and bread. We could not believe this hotel is even still operating. DO NOT STAY THERE..... i am not exaggerating. its terrible.

The state was comfortable rates are great. Could use a better breakfast than standard bagels, but I understand the type
Pros:

I like the fact that by me being a repeated customer every weekend that they are now letting me have a room on the fourth floor already blocked off knowing that I’m gonna check in on the weekend like I normally have been doing for the last two years

Cons:

It is in the convenient location
