Small Room Woes

helpfulhelpful staffsmall room
The staff was very helpful. I will give them that.
I paid far too much for the room I received. It was small, and I could barely move around with my luggage. The sink was in the main room, which led to water splashing everywhere when I tried to wash my face or brush my teeth. It was hardly ideal, I must say.
