spacious room comfy bedding small room inconvenient distance
The room was very spacious. the bed was very comfy and the bedding felt luxurious. the heating worked perfectly, keeping us warm and cozy throughout our stay. the entire room was immaculate. It reminded me of a fresh start.
Our room felt quite small and a bit cramped. There wasn't much space to move around. the distance from the city center was a little inconvenient. It required a bus ride each time we wanted to explore.
