A Functional Stay with Issues

missing shower doorimpersonal breakfast
The shower lacked a proper door. This caused the entire bathroom to flood after each shower because the glass screen was too short. Breakfast was crowded and impersonal. I also noted the absence of a mini-fridge in the room, which I expected for the price.
