My room had a radio playing relaxing music upon arrival. The bedroom was super clean. I also liked the decor.
The bed linen was quite worn. It was ripped at the side. No fresh water was left in my room on the second day. I found that to be an oversight.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
convenient locationnoticeable dampnessstanding water
The location was convenient for exploring the area.
The room had a noticeable dampness that affected our clothes. The view from the window overlooked a terrace with standing water. This was rather unappealing and detracted from the experience
