    “Generally all was well; the main issues were that many of the bathrooms lacked sufficient hot water, and the electric showers were only operational in a few instances.”

    Additionally, the bedrooms were inadequately heated, which was particularly problematic during the cold nights. That said, we are otherwise pleased with the cleanliness, comfort, and overall experience.
