Acceptable Stay near the Train Station

train stationgreat locationfriendly staffbreakfast scheduleold hotelwarm roomoutside noise
The location near the train station is great. The staff was helpful when needed, but some were friendlier than others. Breakfast ran from 7 AM to 10 AM. They even kindly served those who arrived a few minutes before closing.
The hotel seemed a bit old, and the rooms felt warm. I asked the front desk to turn up the AC, but it did not get cool. I had to request a fan so I could sleep. Voices and sounds from outside could be heard throughout the night.

okay stay, some issues noticed

small roomunconcerned staff
The room was smaller than expected for the price. i booked what i thought would be a larger room, but it barely fit my luggage. also, the air conditioning didn't work properly. It never really got cool. i had to ask for a fan, which wasn't ideal for a hotel of this supposed caliber. the staff seemed unconcerned, which didn't help Matters.
