Concepts of a bathroom- no.

The place is modern, clean, and relatively comfortable. Service was really nice and parking was ample. The one drawback- open concept bathrooms should never be a thing. The toilet "stall" with a frosted glass door that doesn't latch or reach the floor, or reach the ceiling, pretty much guarantees you'll have plenty to discuss with your partner later. The shower, also with as stall, was plenty big. Our room didn't have a separate bathroom but I noticed some rooms did when passing by the cleaning crew. Hope you're luckier than us.
There's no bath "room". These stalls face the bed, partially blocked by sink n mirror.

The hotel is absolutely excellent. Expedia and God forbid, your AI absolutely sucks. You really introduced the software in pre-alpha shape. It freezes, it doesn't understand what you're trying to ask it. Just any way you it shape it. It's an all-around bad it's.
