The room felt smaller than anticipated. storage space proved minimal. We struggled to place our luggage. also, the air conditioning unit emitted a persistent humming sound. This affected sleep. i found it difficult to adjust the temperature.

the location was acceptable as a base for exploring.
The room felt quite cramped, i barely had space to move around. the noise from the street was constant. The window insulation seemed ineffective. to top it off, the temperature control was faulty, and i couldn't adjust the heating properly. it made for a very uncomfortable night.
