short walkcramped bathroomextra breakfast fee

The location was fine. Just a short walk to the town center.

The room was smaller than advertised. I swear it was more like a closet. the bathroom was also cramped. plus, paying extra for breakfast reminded me of a cheap trick after already shelling out a considerable sum for the room.
