6.0

Location to train station, perfect location for arriving at night by train and then departing early in.the morning. Showers were hot with good, strong pressure, and the beds were comfy. Check-in was easy, and the staff member was great, explained everything well.

In the morning, at checkout, admittedly, it was very early because we had a train to catch, the male staff member was very brusque. In fact, he came from out the back after we waited for a few minutes, looking as if we had disturbed his sleep. We handed over the key card and then found it very difficult to leave and carry our bags out without a key card because the door was locked at this time of the morning. The male staff member was very little assistance and It was a most unpleasant experience.

For last minute, multiple person reservations (in periods of high demand) it may not be possible to put all occupants in the same room. We shall certainly do our best though!
