adequate stay with some issues

raised floor small door
The room was spacious, but i found a few things disappointing. there was only one spot to put my suitcase, on the floor. the ensuite shower had a raised floor, and the door was very small. i also noticed a lack of lights. this made it difficult to apply makeup. It was a let down!
