Acceptable stay with shortcomings
convenient locationsmall roominadequate lighting
The location of the hotel was convenient.
The toilet required multiple flushes to clear it properly and the seat was oddly shaped. I found the room itself rather small and poorly lit. It felt cave-like. The closet space was inadequate because it was filled with the safe, iron, ironing board, and extra blankets.

the bathroom was ridiculously small. i have never seen a bathroom that small. also the toilet was so small. if i had to do it over again, i would stay elsewhere and just go to the restaurant.
