The second room we rented only had a sink -the toilet and shower facilities were in the hallway but it didn’t seem to be much of an issue unless you awake several times a night. A hidden surprise that we found out about by mistake…there is a walking path just outside the hotel entrance ā€œbehind the restaurantā€ (take a left) that leads to a beautiful trail and meanders to the road near the bay."
