warm room skylight ventilation
The Mews Suite, while appearing nice, had some issues. I found the room was quite warm, difficult to sleep comfortably. There was only one small skylight for ventilation, so cooling the room proved challenging. This lack of adequate ventilation and temperature control was disappointing after a long day.

The room I had was a bit small. The ceiling was low in the bedroom mezzanine so I had to be careful.
