underwhelming experience

narrow bed missing lightbulb

the location was acceptable as it was close to several attractions.

the room felt smaller than expected, especially with two of us staying there. finding space for our luggage was a struggle and the bed was quite narrow for two people. i also noted a lightbulb was out when i arrived, a detail i would have expected staff to notice before check-in.
