The contact with the cards may be finnacky because of the cold, but I hope it's just that. It took me various tries to get into my room because the doors wouldn't recognize the key, but that aside. it was a lovely stay and I had a wonderful time.

Go in knowing that it's a cheap accommodation and since you get what you pay for, it's not too bad in that sense.
