adequate stay with minor issues
limited spacefew outlets
The room size proved quite restrictive. It felt cramped. limited space made it hard to move around comfortably, especially with luggage. the lack of sufficient plug sockets was an inconvenience. there were few outlets available.

okay stay with some issues
extractor fanroad noise
The room was quite small. It was hard to move around comfortably. a loud extractor fan was a constant annoyance. It seemed impossible to block out the noise, even at night. road noise added to the disturbance.
