"I would really like to see an improvement regarding the shower room door; it does not close properly and tends to swing open while in use. I experienced the same issue during a previous stay. Also, the cleanliness of the bathroom floor was not up to par; I found long hairs that clearly did not belong to us, likely left behind by a previous guest. Additionally, if possible, I would like to see more seating in the breakfast area, as there were no seats available during busy times. Apart from those points, however, it was a truly wonderful experience."
