mixed experience at the guest house

helpful hostessuncomfortable showertricky parking
the hostess was helpful when i asked for information about the area.
The shower was very uncomfortable. Water sprayed everywhere. the pressure felt quite strong and somewhat painful (not what i needed after a long day). parking proved tricky, and i think a sign could help guide drivers to park correctly.
