small roomineffective air conditioning
The room i booked, a premium double room, just wasn't what i anticipated. it felt smaller than advertised, and the layout seemed a bit awkward. the bathroom had this strange glass partition, and i found it lacked a bit of privacy. also, the air conditioning wasn't as effective. I had trouble getting the room to a comfortable temperature.
