The room's sofa seemed quite outdated, not really fitting with the rest of the decor. also, i noticed the bathroom had a noticeable funny smell. It wasn't overpowering, but it was definitely there. it needed some serious airing out or maybe a deep clean. those small details definitely impacted the overall experience negatively for me.
