Shower is the smallest I’ve seen and I’m just a US medium size petite, imagine if you’re taller and bigger! If you’ve been on a cruise, the shower is smaller in here. IFKYK. The pillows seems like 50 years old, looks like flat tire. It seems clean. The only good thing I can say is their airport shuttle.
