outdated furniture limited wardrobe
The room felt a bit outdated. the furniture seemed worn, and the en suite bathroom was quite cramped. It definitely lacked space i was expecting. also, i found the lack of a wardrobe rather inconvenient. i struggled a bit with where to put my clothes, considering my stay was a few nights. it would have been nice to have more storage space.
