limited storageincreased price

the sole storage option in the entire room was four coat hangers there were no drawers or a dresser available for storing clothing or toiletries. i feel they really need at least one small dresser because i had no place to store my clothes and was forced to live out of my suitcase. the increased price tag due to the taylor swift concert was not worth the money.

The location was convenient. I walked to many nearby attractions. Breakfast had good coffee. The room had under-bed lighting. This provided soft illumination at night.

The bed was not as comfortable as I expected.
