the room design seemed very thoughtful. the toilet space can be separated in two ways, very convenient. the light switch at the entry is integrated, and it controls multiple light sources at one time.

i wished there were more restaurants within walking distance. (dining was difficult without reservations on the weekends). also, i think valuables should be held in a more secure manner. a paper bag stapled shut is not sufficient.
