cramped roomshower curtain
The room was a bit of a letdown. It felt cramped. i'm pretty sure the bathroom had a shower curtain. I thought those were extinct! the 'breakfast' was underwhelming. I think they found the cheapest ingredients possible. they were also stingy with the hot water.

an adequate stay, i guess..
good locationsmall roombasic breakfast
the location was pretty good for getting around.
The room was unbelievably small. trying to navigate around the bed reminded me of an obstacle course. also, the breakfast was quite basic. I was expecting at least a bit more variety, but it was just the bare minimum.
