Good near railway station

I stay here very often so all I can say is that the rooms are nice enough and the beds are comfortable and it's clean and there is a lift to go to different floors which is missing on a lot of places

Decent Stay for the Price, But Needs Some Updates

The main reason I chose to stay was the proximity to KGX. The hotel is reasonable for the price paid—the beds were clean, and the overall cleanliness was fine. However, I found the mattresses to be somewhat worn out, and the room carpet (which is the same throughout the hotel) is due for a replacement. While it does help to hide dirt, you can see how bad it is when looking at the edges and corners. If you're allergic to dust mites or similar allergens, this may not be the best place to stay.
