black stain poor soundproofing
The room was super very comfy and tidy. It met my expectations.
I found a black stain on my pillow, which i considered unacceptable. also, the hotel did not provide toothbrushes unless requested at check-in. This felt inconvenient. finally, the noise from the railway was noticeable at night.

The hotel's location is convenient. It is a short walk from the main train station! i found it easy to access transportation. the room had an ipad to control lights and curtains. i appreciated the prompt elevator service.
the concierge staff seemed rigid and struggled with providing tailored recommendations. i felt they could not think outside the box. this limitation impacted my ability to explore local dining options.
