slightly underwhelming stay

c o n v e n i e n t l o c a t i o n dated room high price
the location was indeed convenient for accessing nearby cafes and shops.
the room i had felt a little dated. the bathroom layout was unusual, and i found it somewhat inconvenient. the price seemed high considering the overall condition of the room and the slightly awkward bathroom situation.
