I was disappointed with how the room was described on hotels.com website vs. the reality of it.
We couldn’t sleep because of the brightness of that little alarm clock. Also, it’s the only outlet that’s accessible for the room.
There are only black out curtains. So if you were to open them, the rest of the world can see right into your room.
A view of the small bathroom vanity and only “makeshift closet”.
The space between the fridge and dresser is the only space that you’re able to put your luggage and the view to the bathroom vanity.
