Mostly comfortable, would stay again but upgrade to the bigger bathroom
Pros:

Great location, well appointed room, nice and clean, love access to outside area

Cons:

Bathroom fan was hopeless so when taking a bath the room steamed up and then proceeded to drip cold water from the ceiling. Shower head was also hopeless - felt like I was constantly being sprayed in the face, couldn’t change direction enough and logged noddles making the water sorry in every direction, really not a pleasant shower experience.
