uneven experience

small room outdated key

my room was quite small, I guess, and not what i expected. the elevator was a whole experience with its manual door plus automatic sliding door. also, i wasn't thrilled about the traditional key instead of a more modern card key. this felt a bit outdated, to be honest.
