adequate roomuncomfortable beddribbling shower
The room size seemed adequate and information from staff arrived through messages. I found access into the hotel easy enough.
The bed was quite uncomfortable, I must say. The shower produced only a dribble and swung between hot and cold. I did not find any milk in the room, despite the listing mentioning it.
