The room featured a well-equipped bathroom with an enclosed shower. The reception staff were cute. I found a nice terrace connected to my room.
The hotel is slightly isolated, so a car is beneficial.

Adequate, But Some Issues

fluctuating water temperature poor soundproofing
The shower was a bit of a disaster. The water temperature fluctuated wildly (from freezing to scalding) making it hard to enjoy. the soundproofing was not great. I could hear conversations and other noises from adjacent rooms, a disturbance during the night. The room also smelled musty. (I thought airing it out would solve it, but it didn't!)
