Acceptable stay with ventilation issues
supportive staff nearby store poor ventilation cramped space
Staff were very supportive . The hotel also has restaurants and a convenience store nearby.
The cramped room resulted in poor ventilation. It was difficult to sleep well due to this (it really affected my rest). I found it hard to get comfortable.
