great central stay

central location room facilities
the location was ultra central. the reception desk operates 24 hours and the front door gets locked in the early evening. guests use their room keys to access the building and i felt safe. facilities in the room were good.
our room had a problem, the lift did not reach our floor. this was an issue, since a member of our group has mobility issues.

The location was excellent. It was right near many shops and things to see and do. The train station was an easy walk.
I found the room cleaning to be deplorable. We stayed five nights. The room was not cleaned on any day. They limited themselves to "making the beds".
