Acceptable but with some drawbacks
glass bathroom door missing shower door
The staff at the café were friendly. Monette, our server at breakfast, made an effort to take care of us.
The hotel is noisy. A glass door exists on the bathroom, this door does not close. The shower lacks a door. Water spreads everywhere.
