Mixed Experience, Room Issues

small room restricted shower

The room I was in felt quite small, a detail , made it difficult to relax. It was a Double Room, but space around the bed was minimal. I also had problems with the shower. The soap dispenser was situated where it restricted the movement of the shower head. It was difficult to get comfortable in that small space.

The bathroom ceiling was to have yellowish drips. I chose not to use the shower. the kettle plug was only accessible at floor level.. It was not ideal, given my dog was with me.
