There was no shower door and the bathroom practically flooded when you had a shower. The air-conditioning didn't work and the room was so hot and stuffy. The noise on the road outside my room was very loud and woke me up several times. The tv was the size of a laptop screen and the carpet felt dirty and old underfoot. The bed was clean and comfortbale and the doona and pillows were nice.
