underwhelming stay, issues with comfort and service

cramped room slamming door

The room felt cramped. i booked for two people, but there was barely space for luggage on one side of the bed, and the wardrobe was only accessible for one person. This was frustrating. also, the door slammed shut too quickly, nearly hitting me a few times! i found the lack of space unacceptable.
