Windowless room but otherwise nice

Room was smart, but didn’t have any windows aside from a small very high velux. Don’t think I’ve ever seen this before in a hotel room, felt very claustrophobic. Room seemed to really fluctuate in temperature as the aircon kicked in and out. I’d say it was quite pricey for a windowless room. I’m surprised no other reviews seem to mention it. Quite a strange setup having to cross the road from the main hotel to get to the room but no big deal. Staff were otherwise very nice and the food was good. But won’t go back just for fear of getting another windowless room.
