Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

The bed was comfortable and allowed for restful sleep.
The shower design proved problematic. Water leaked from the shower into the main room. The lack of proper drainage needs addressing immediately.

mixed feelings about this stay

strange room layoutmonotonous breakfast
the room layout felt strange. the sink was in the hallway, not inside the bathroom itself. it made washing up inconvenient. breakfast also became repetitive after a few days it lacked variety so eating there got tiresome.
