Not quite as expected

dim lightingcramped room
The lighting in the room was quite dim. It made reading difficult. There was no closet. This meant our clothes remained in our suitcases. The bathroom lacked proper ventilation, and a small window would have helped. Our room felt cramped. Moving around with luggage was a challenge. The price for the stay seemed high considering these issues.

The hallway beads hit me in the face when I walked by. It was a small problem.
