mixed feelings about the stay

decent breakfastcramped roomcity tax
The breakfast was decent. It offered a satisfactory start to the day.
I was quite disappointed, The room felt cramped. Maneuvering around with luggage was a challenge. The bathroom design lacked privacy. It had a glass door right in the room. The staff didn't explain the city tax at check-in. This was a surprise on the final bill, and it left a bad taste.
