the location was good.. a definite advantage.
the promised private bathroom was not private. it was located in the hall, accessible to everyone. furthermore, there was no ventilation in the bathroom, quite unpleasant.

decent stay, some issues

damp smelltemperature fluctuation
i found a couple of things less than ideal. our room had a noticeable damp smell, it was strongest near the window. the shower temperature fluctuated a lot, it made it difficult to get a consistent temperature. these things detracted from what was otherwise a reasonable experience.
