“The room was roomy enough for four of us. The protective plastic on the inner window panes was a safety touch that still let in light, and it gave the room a unique look.”

“The classic quadruple room had enough space for four, and the location was fairly central. I noticed the plastic inner window panes – a safety feature that also lets in light, giving a distinctive feel.”
