7.0

Clean bathroom. Room was ok. Location was in walking distance of some decent restaurants.

Didn’t get any breakfast as it was poor quality (cheap cereal and toast bread) and very uninviting.

Great fort!

9.0

The one with unsuite was good for us as family. It was spacious and quite. I love the simplicity of it. The new modern kitchen is a such bonus.

I think the heater isn't good enough during super cold day. The single room was located at the front. It was noisy at night.
