chris was friendly and i was happy to find the room was warm.
The shower didn't stay warm for long and that disappointed me. also, the bathroom door was hard to open. I had to push hard and i hurt my shoulder. the place seems worn. It needs some work.

small room faulty remote
The room size was a bit of a surprise, not in a good way. i booked a 'double room', expecting at least enough space to swing a cat, but it felt more like a broom closet. also, the tv remote seemed to have a mind of its own. Changing channels randomly. it was like a poltergeist was trying to curate my viewing experience.
