invisible note solo traveler

The room was equipped with a water heater, a mini bar, and glasses. It was all acceptable.

The reception was not in the same building. A tiny note advised us of this, but it was not visible. IT took ages to find it. This didn't make it safe for a solo traveler and I THOUGHT that was a problem.

unclear signage musty smell

the location was perfect to explore the area, walkable to the center in about 25 minutes.

I wasn't happy about picking up keys at another reception desk. it wasn't clearly signed, and i walked around for a while. the room felt damp and had a musty smell. It was pretty unpleasant. the coffee and tea provided were very basic and not restocked.
