tiny shower mismatched decor
the breakfast had options. i guess that's something.
the shower was basically a phone booth. i had to turn sideways to wash. the room decor looked like it came from a garage sale, mismatched and not in a cool way.

Acceptable Stay , Some Issues
small room tired decor
The breakfast was well cooked and punctual.
The room was small , and the shower was particularly tiny. The decor seemed tired , it needed updating. The space around the bed was restricted , so moving about the room felt difficult.
