heavy gatestained pillows
the heavy gate was not inviting. i had to carry my luggage up the stairs alone that was annoying. an ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts sat right by the entrance i thought it was gross. the pillows felt lumpy and the linens had a stale smell maybe they need better detergent. the tv remote looked like it had not been cleaned in ages

the shower was alright, i suppose. water came out like it should.
right, so the stairs to my room. no offer of help with my bags, naturally. then, the big red letters about checkout at 10:15 a.m., like i'm some kinda prisoner being released. seemed a bit much, didn't it?
