Poor design of a room. The bathroom light switch is not by the bathroom but at the entrance and is in series with a light in the entrance so if you turn the light on during the night you wake up the sleepers. Two beds but one chair so to talk or watch tv you have to sit on the bed. No electricity in the bath and no tissues in the room.
