limited spaceplastic cups
My stay had some issues. The breakfast area felt cramped with limited space, so it was hard to move around. they used paper plates and plastic cups for breakfast. It felt cheap. My room was small, and the toilet was awkwardly placed very close to the shower. It was difficult to use the toilet.
