a satisfactory visit

clean roomprofessional staffbreakfast optionsmall roombathroom spacestorage hindrance
the room was clean upon my arrival. i found the staff to be quite professional . the breakfast had many options (i especially liked the fruit selection).
My room was smaller than i expected. the bathroom lacked sufficient space. The door nearly touched the toilet. also, the ironing board was awkwardly placed, hindering suitcase storage.
