Should have complained

Booked a Delux Studio room for 2 nights -less than 20sq.m. and nowhere to put a suitcase, nowhere to hang our clothes, no stove. Really spoilt our stay not what we booked through this site. Motel did not appear to be booked out, rooms were vacant. Owner was very friendly on our arrival but locked the internal door on what appeared to be a second room preventing access to more space. We certainly didn't get what we booked or what we paid for.
