functional designsmall sinkpoor window sealing

The room looked nice and it had a functional design.

The sink in the bathroom was too small and oddly high. It was awkward to use when washing my face (I almost hit my head). The windows didn't seal properly. I felt a draft and a constant buzzing noise from outside.

The staff were helpful and cute. The breakfast offered a standard buffet, and it was pleasant. My room was clean and it included a kettle with tea and instant coffee.

The room was small. The window had no soundproofing, so I heard outside noise. The bed was directly below the window.
