the staff gave instructions regarding the parking garage. i could drive straight to the on site parking. the location allowed an easy walk into town along the canal. the location allowed an easy walk to the train station too.
the shower was quite small. it was impossible to keep the curtain from sticking to me. the water pressure was minimal, i did not enjoy it after a long travel.

Decent Stay, Some Minor Issues

limited breakfaststreet noise
The parking area felt quite cramped (definitely not for larger vehicles). I also found the breakfast selection rather uninspired. The staff did not seem particularly proactive in replenishing items. The room also lacked sufficient soundproofing, as I could hear street noise quite easily at night. It was not very disrupting, but I did notice it.
