helpful trip overnight garage shower temperature bathroom light
i liked that they let me keep my car there most of the day. they let my friends keep their bikes in their garage overnight. this was very helpful for our trip.
i could not control the showers temperature. it was either boiling hot and stone cold. the bathroom light goes out while you are in the shower.

a haven of warmth and charm

private door fragrant bloom divine item
three of us were traveling together.. we booked the family room, a wonderful space where one bed sat in a separate alcove, the door always open for easy chats. a comfortable sofa became our nightly gathering spot after adventures. a private door led directly into the garden, filled with fragrant blooms. breakfast became a highlight, each item meticulously prepared and utterly divine.
The shower proved slightly temperamental. Adjustments needed extra care to prevent unexpected temperature changes.

minor issues detracted from the stay

shower temperature train station
The shower temperature was a problem. It alternated between scalding hot and freezing cold. the bathroom light also failed while i was showering, annoying. it's also not really near the train station. I thought it would be closer.
