Mixed Feelings About My Visit

bathroom lighting loud generator
I encountered a few issues. The bathroom lacked adequate lighting. The mirror was not illuminated. The absence of a seating area or desk in the room was disappointing. I had to use my suitcase as a makeshift table. The noise from a nearby generator made it difficult to rest.
