Acceptable stay. Some issues present

limited interaction no communal space
The lack of communal space was disappointing. I expected more opportunities to relax outside the room. limited interaction with staff created a somewhat impersonal atmosphere. the prohibition of baths also restricted my relaxation options after long days.
