mixed feelings about this stay

cramped room missing remote
The room i booked was supposedly larger. But it felt quite cramped. moving around was a challenge. And i found the space inadequate considering the price. i suspect the room names are somewhat misleading. plus, the promised air conditioning remote was nowhere to be found. Made temperature control impossible

decent stay with minor drawbacks

convenient location unique style bar staff small room tiny bathroom security fee
The location is convenient, near many shops and restaurants. the room decor had a unique style and created a cute atmosphere. i was offered complimentary drinks at the bar. The bar staff was very accommodating.
My room was quite small, limiting movement. the bathroom was also very small. I found it difficult to move. the hotel charged a security fee upon arrival, it was unexpected.
