a satisfactory visit
equipped kitchenspacious dining roomglass showerpricey amenity
the kitchen is great equipped. guests has access to a spacious shared dining room, is really a plus.
private bath doesn't mean a glass shower in the bedroom, wich is not ideal if you travel with a friend. it wasn't really usable, what make it kinda pricey.

the location was acceptable. the kitchen offered free milk and cereal.
I encountered issues with the room. the drawers contained random clothing and looked dirty. the closet held more random clothes and shoes. I would not place my items there. the internet and tv did not function (which was frustrating).

comfortable bedsusable kitchenfriendly catsmall duvetaccent cushioninadequate bedding
I found the beds comfortable. It was good to have use of a kitchen. Guests are encouraged to leave food they haven't used for others. The friendly cat on premises was a plus.
My main criticism is that they don't give you adult sized bedding. The duvet is the type one would typically use in an infant cot, so I had to try to sleep while either my knees and lower legs were exposed. Or only my legs were covered. The pillows provided were small accent cushions, and there was only one of these small cushions provided. I am not a large person by any means.
