i found such a clean and spacious room with two single beds and one double bed it also included two floor standing fans. there was a sink and shower inside the room with large cabinets and a safe available i was happy. the staff were very kind and offered bowls when i asked for them.
the only slight inconvenience was the lack of a lift i had to carry my luggage up a few flights of stairs it was a small price to pay for such a good stay though.
