A fan in the bathroom would be good. There was a long hair (thankfully from a head) on the bedsheet, that wasn't mine. :-/

This hotel is well located in Sale . The bed was very comfortable and good parking. On the downside the room was cold with the heating noisy and not very effective. The TV remote did not work with the television in the bedroom and there was a lot of mould on the ceiling in the bathroom.
