The hotel room was very generous in size and equipped with various amenities like a tub, shower, tea kettle, and a mini bar. However, the room had a strong, intense sweet perfume scent, was noisy due to poor acoustics, lacked sunlight exposure, and had a massive metallic bed structure that posed a risk of accidental injury.
