“This spot is practical, owing to its proximity to the train station and a quality Indian restaurant right downstairs. However, it's worth noting that check-in occurs at a sister hotel and that some might find the shared bathroom situation less than ideal, despite the bonus of some rooms offering a private balcony. I think it is a solid option, mostly for those prioritizing location and price over a seamless hotel experience.”
