The macerating toilet in the bathroom had an unbearable smell. I HAD to use the bathroom quickly. with the door closed, the smell did not fill the bedroom.

unbearable smell powerful fan

the walled beer garden was acceptable.

the bathroom toilet was a macerating type and produced an unbearable smell. i don't know if the blockage came from the previous guest or if it's always like that. thankfully, the smell didn't spread to the bedroom when the door was closed, but i had to use the bathroom quickly. the room was also uncomfortably hot, even with the window open and the fan on. more powerful fans are needed during hot months.
