closet absence counter space
the location is convenient (right in the city center). the staff were helpful.
The room lacked adequate storage. there was no closet, difficult to unpack and keep the room organized. the bathroom lacked counter space. There was barely any room for toiletries. this made getting ready each day a bit of a hassle.
