a satisfactory stay

black out blindsnice shower potallocated parkingno windowsky lightcomplicated lighting
The room had black out blinds. These enabled us to sleep better. The room also included shampoo and body lotion. The shower pot was really nice. Allocated parking spaces existed for each room. Every space HAD an ev charger.
Rooms had no window. A sky light was the only option. Lighting in the toilet COULDN'T be switched off during the night. It IS a nightmare for people light sensitive.
