The bathroom door is a sliding barn door style with no lock. Our door did not close all the way and there was a gap opening. Not enough privacy if you're sharing a room. Would be fine if you're traveling alone. Everything else was perfect and I would highly recommend. Shower had great hard pressure. Breakfast choices were great. Location great!
