secure bike storage battery charging varied breakfast cold bedroom poor water pressure gross shower head
I was very happy with the bike storage. It felt secure! Power for battery charging was available. This was a big plus. My breakfast choice was great and varied. I loved it!
My bedroom was really cold when I arrived. It did get warmer later though. The shower's water pressure wasn't good and it wasn't very hot either. The shower head looks a bit gross, I'd say.
