Staff didn’t pick up room service trays overnight. Staff knocked on door and asked to clean our room when we hung a “Later, Please” sign from the door handle. Sign was removed. Cookies were plentiful. The hotel is a 30-minute bus ride from the train station. Buses run every 30 minutes.

Nice hotel, friendly staff, comfortable bed. Close to the train station. Ate dinner at Partigiano Italian resto across from hotel. Most excellent! If you like Indian, Middle Eastern or oriental, this is also your neighborhood for those cuisines.
