“It seems that even repeat visitors can encounter unexpected issues here, particularly those of a taller stature. While generally acceptable, the accommodations apparently present some spatial challenges. A shrug and a smile might not be enough to smooth over the inconvenience of stooping in one's room and bathroom.”
