cramped roomintense light

The room i occupied felt quite cramped for a sea view accommodation. I expected more space. a persistent green light above the door, a fire safety feature, illuminated the room intensely during the night. this light made it difficult to sleep, and despite my request, the staff informed me nothing could be done about it. It was a legal requirement. i found this unacceptable, since it severely impacted my rest.
