the double bed mattress needs replacement it felt worn. the wifi signal was practically nonexistent i could not even load a simple webpage. the bathroom lacked a mirror and the front door had no curtains which let light in from the garden area early in the morning. i could also see figures and shapes outside the bathroom window which was unsettling. i expected better privacy and connectivity for the price i paid
