Underwhelming and Overpriced

acceptable locationtiny roomsingle glazing
The location was alright, I suppose.
The room I got was seriously tiny. I struggled to find space for my suitcase. It seems ridiculous for a King Room. the window seemed to have single glazing, and I felt a slight draught, not ideal at all
