average stay with some issues

insufficient storage single towel hook

the location was acceptable, making it relatively easy to access key attractions.

the lack of adequate storage in the beautiful room was quite inconvenient. there was no proper rail and hangers for clothes in the wardrobe, so i ended up draping clothes over the furniture. the single towel hook in the bathroom was insufficient for both robes and damp towels, and this caused them to not dry correctly.
