cute staffclean roomnice breakfastsensitive controlshower headhigh price
i found the staff were very cute i also found a clean room with a very nice breakfast i liked the room being clean and well-kept the breakfast was a good way to start my days
the electric shower use required some practice either too hot or too cold once i adjusted it, i avoided touching anything i noticed the shower head was prone to falling off and the temperature control was very sensitive the price of the room felt a little high
