inconsistent experience, some drawbacks

small roomdated bathroom
The room was quite small. the bathroom felt dated, especially the lack of a mixer tap. there was only one chair for hanging clothes. That was not enough for two people, i found. the lack of a fan in the room made it stuffy, even with moderate temperatures outside. The heat just lingered.
