mixed feelings about this stay
dated shower poor ventilation
the room wasn't quite up to par, i must say. the dated shower system was a bit of a letdown. hot water took its sweet time arriving, a minor inconvenience, sure, but still annoying. also, the ventilation seemed non-existent, resulting in a perpetually damp bathroom, not what i expected for the price, apply:
