mixed feelings about this stay

cramped room unhelpful staff
I was not happy with my experience. The room felt very cramped, I could barely move around. the staff was not helpful when I asked for assistance with my luggage, REALLY frustrating. They just pointed to the stairs. It felt quite unwelcoming.
