Our TV didn’t work and when we called the desk for help, he informed us there was nothing he could do and they would fix it in the morning - well, we left in the morning - thank you anyway. Breakfast was good - it was pretty picked over and sparse when we arrived at 8:20 am. The coffee machine was Not working and when it finally did work, the quality of the coffee was very poor. As we were leaving the breakfast room, they replenished the hot items. Best thing about this hotel was its proximity to the train station."
