clean room transport links small room shower issue

The room was clean and it was nice. I had a solid breakfast and a standard selection. There were great transport links near the place. The staff were lovely and they are accommodating.

The room was very small so there was no room for my suitcases. The shower sprayed all over the floor outside.
