Excellent Facilities and Convenient Garden Access

hair straightenergarden accessdoor lock
The room included a hairdryer and hair straightener, quite beneficial. A smart TV also allowed for streaming content, and there was dedicated WiFi for the room. I appreciated having direct access to the garden through the patio door, since I was traveling with a dog.
The bathroom door lock malfunctioned, and it took considerable time to find someone to assist. It was not possible to close the door after it had been forced open. An alternative room was not offered.
