We liked the room and bathroom. The only complaint is the rod for hanging up clothes is way too high and the racks for towels in bathroom too high!! Not everyone is tall.

neo-retro, with a small and dark shower.

The room was comfortable, clean, and nicely equipped. My only criticism is the bathroom is small, with a tiny unlit shower stall. Considering how spacious the room is, the bathroom surprised us.
