minor shower issue
shower temperature safety issue
the staff seemed friendly and helpful.
I stayed in a room. the shower had only ice-cold or scalding hot water. I could not find a comfortable temperature. this seems like a safety issue that needs fixing as the water was hot. it was quite frustrating..

mixed feelings about my stay
small room hot shower
the breakfast had lots of choice and tasted good.
My room felt quite small for the price i paid. the shower was difficult to regulate. It was either ice cold or hot. it could be dangerous if not fixed soon as it was steaming hot!
