useful fridgeno handledistant market
The fridge in the room was useful , and the staff helped me borrow a kettle from the kitchen.
The bathroom door had no handle , so it would not stay closed. The closest grocery store was also pretty far away at about a 15-minute drive. Visiting other parts of the region WAS inconvenient without a closer market.

the staff was friendly enough.
The bathroom really let the room down. The shower drain was clogged. the tv remote was missing and i had to ask for it. It seemed like an extra charge was coming.
