Disappointing Room Location

We stayed in 107. Room was depressing with harsh main light and no window with a view. No natural light. Had to keep curtains drawn because we were next to entrance to hotel. I had requested an upper floor when I booked the room online.

Hotel is conveniently located near the railroad station. The room was clean and accessible although some maintenance was lacking. Breakfast with powdered eggs makes me want to rate this hotel as closer to average.
