small room see-through shower

the buffet had a generous offering for both breakfast and dinner which i found acceptable.

My room was not as expected. It felt small and the sink was in the room itself, this made it difficult to brush my teeth without disturbing my partner. the see-through shower door was not ideal too, i always had to put up the do not disturb sign.
