the location was efficient. food at breakfast was good, and on-site parking was available.
the wardrobe door didn't open because of the damper on the entrance door. the room had only balcony doors, and light was limited by overhanging vegetation. many insects entered the room when i opened the doors for fresh air. the number of coat hangers was inadequate for two people.
