clean roomlow pressureprivate garage
The room was clean and spacious. That part met my standards.
The shower lacked sufficient water pressure, and i could barely rinse off. also, the description mentioned a private garage, but it was not on the hotel premises. It was a few minutes away, and i couldn't charge my car there, a considerable inconvenience.
