smaller roomcramped bathroom
I felt somewhat deceived because my room was not quite right. I booked a Beautiful Double Room, but I found a standard room instead. It felt smaller, and it lacked some advertised amenities. The bathroom in particular seemed very cramped. I had expected more space for the price I paid.
