The bed is right up against the wall so one person always has to climb over top of the other person. The shower/bathroom has zero privacy and that’s for married couples 😳 I’ve stayed in my share of small hotels around the world and this unfortunately one of the worst designed for sure. Plus, the fridge didn’t work properly leading whatever we had in there to spoil.
