limited space weak shower

The room I stayed in felt somewhat cramped. There was a noticeable lack of space to move around freely. The shower pressure was disappointingly weak, made showering less refreshing. I also observed some dust accumulation on the higher shelves.

noisy room poor shower

The room I had was noisy as it faced the main road. The bathroom was small and the shower was not very good. A dog kept barking in the breakfast room, also disruptive.
