cold room unusual bathroom
The allocated room was quite disappointing. it was situated in the annex, and the temperature was uncomfortably cold. the bathroom had an unusual design. It functioned as a wet room, but the bath drained into the area next to the toilet. this design meant i risked getting my feet wet each time i used the toilet. the room configuration needs reconsideration.
