friendly staffinconvenient arrangementjammed window
staff WERE friendly, and the location suited my travel plans, so this was acceptable.
The bathroom was not en suite. It was some steps away from the bedroom via a stairwell. This arrangement was inconvenient, especially during the night. the room was small, and the sash window remained jammed open with a piece of wood.
