decent stay, some issues noticed

smokey fireplacebathroom location
The bathroom was not en suite. I think they should specify this beforehand. also, the fireplace in the bedroom did not function very well. the room filled with smoke when i tried to use it (it was not pleasant). getting a keycard for the entrance would improve security and convenience.
