The provided toiletries in the sparkling bathroom added a special touch. The lighting in our spacious room was really good. I especially loved the separate area designated for beverages, it helped keep things organized and tidy.

The live music from the party was quite loud and vibrated through the radiator. We were not informed about it beforehand.

dust bunniesstained shower curtain

The cleanliness was a bit questionable. i found some dust bunnies in the corner of the room and, strangely, the shower curtain had a stain. also, the tv remote seemed to have a mind of its own. Changing channels randomly was its favorite hobby. i had to unplug it to get some peace.
