“What makes this place stand out is how it mixes a lively pub scene with surprisingly well-kept rooms. I was especially impressed by the attention to detail, like the cut-glass water glasses, that you don't usually find in a town-center spot like this. It's an easy walk from the train station, and the 24-hour desk adds a layer of convenience that's hard to beat.”
