adequate stay with some drawbacks

unstable water loud fan
the shower was a real problem. i couldn't get the temperature right. it was either way too hot or too cold (this was annoying). also, the extractor fan in the bathroom was loud. it stayed on for ages after use, even disturbing sleep because i could hear other guests using their bathrooms.
