It did not clearly state that the bathroom is not attached to the room. The toilet is down the hall and up a flight of stairs, and the bath/shower is in a separate room down another hallway. Having to leave the room and walk through common areas to use the bathroom, especially at night, was very inconvenient. This setup should be clearly stated in the listing so guests know what to expect before booking. Breakfast was disappointing. There were 4 types of dry cereal and two types of bread.
