Acceptable Location, but Issues with Scent and Room Size

intense fragrance small room
The hotel's location proved convenient for accessing various sites (a definite plus).
The intense fragrance used throughout the hotel was quite overpowering. Our allocated room was also smaller than anticipated. This cramped space.

worn-out hammock threadbare towels
i gotta say, my 'double room' was a bit of a joke. the mattress sagged like a worn-out hammock and the pillows seemed like they were stuffed with rocks, not feathers. and don't even get me started on the threadbare towels. the room fragrance was way too much, sagging mattress
