The location IS great for access from the train station.

I found the level of service varied. The young gentleman at breakfast WAS lovely. the rest of the restaurant staff seemed disinterested and unhelpful. I asked for fried eggs one day and got them quickly. The next day, the order was wrong and unresolved.
