steep stairs small room

the stairs were quite the workout i must say narrow and steep i reminded me of i was scaling a mountain with my luggage the room itself was rather compact it felt a bit like living in a shoebox not exactly what i envisioned for a relaxing getaway the breakfast area doubled as the reception so any private conversations were basically public announcements. also the early closure of the reception desk left me a tad stranded one evening when i needed assistance
