Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

limited closetrepetitive breakfast

The room lacked sufficient storage space. There was no closet. the breakfast choices were repetitive (i mean, EVERY day the SAME scrambled eggs?) and the quality seemed only average.

small roompoor view

The room size was a joke, honestly. i reminded me of i was trying to live in a shoebox. There was barely any space for my luggage. also, the promised view? yeah, it was of a brick wall. housekeeping also missed a few spots, the sink wasn't cleaned properly.
