10/10 Excellent

The room exceeded our expectations. Modern functional design, very new dishware and pants, well thought out setup and had everything one needed as we traveled through. Great shower and water pressure and high quality soaps and shampoos. The only thing I'd ask for is instructions to the induction stove top, that wasn't intuitive to sort out. Very very nice stay.
