spacious room close shops inadequate curtains uncomfortable bed

The room was quite spacious and close to shops, I guess.

The curtains let in too much light. The bed wasn't comfortable, and the bathroom felt really tiny and outdated. Everything looked worn out, like it needed some updating or cleaning. It felt pretty run down.
