short walksmall roomodd arrangement

The hotel is a short walk to the airport terminal, a definite advantage.

The room was small. Maneuvering around the bed proved difficult. The wash basin's location next to the bed struck me as quite odd. This is not an arrangement I favor. A more spacious room would greatly improve the experience.
