Which Laussane train station??

I'm a bit confused as to which Lausanne train station I should select on the SBB app. I will be travelling from the Geneva airport and staying at Swiss Wine by Fassbind at Rue Caroline 5.

Listed options on the app include Bessieres, Bourdonnette, Delices, Gare, Jordils, Malley, Montelly, and Ouchy.

I assume it is the Gare station, but hope someone can confirm that for me?

Thanks!

shows that Gare is the right station- about a 600 metre walk.
One stop on the metro line M2 to Lausanne Flon gets you a bit closer-

The main station in Swiss towns is usually just named after the town. So the main Lausanne station is just called "Lausanne". But the SBB planner has all public transit in its database, so it also has all the bus, tram and metro stops. And these are all labelled "town name, stop name". So "Lausanne, gare" is just the bus stop outside the station...
