mixed experience, issues noted

locked gates lack of communication
the location near the town center and train station proved convenient.
the locked gates presented a significant issue. i was not informed about the gate codes. the lack of clear communication regarding access points created unnecessary stress and a safety concern.

quiet room comfy bed nice toiletries unreliable wifi dripping sound no answer
i stayed in a room away from the main bar and it was very quiet. the bed was comfy. the shower was really great and included nice toiletries. i appreciated the hairdryer provided and the continental style breakfast in the room (it helped start the day right!).
the wifi was not working correctly. the network disappeared frequently and it was impossible to log in. there was a constant dripping sound, i couldn't figure out where it was coming from, and it kept me awake for a good portion of one night.
