tiny shower daily cleaning
The bathroom was small. The shower was tiny, I could barely turn around without bumping into the walls. Its size was impractical. I also found the lack of daily cleaning quite bothersome. Six nights passed with no fresh towels and no one to empty the trash. It certainly detracted from the experience.
