Mixed feelings about the stay

limited spacemissing towels
The room size was a problem. I had difficulty moving around with my luggage and skis, so space was limited. the bathroom lacked hand towels and a floor towel, quite inconvenient after a shower (i mean, who wants to walk around with wet socks?).
