mixed feelings about this former prison

breakfast viewnoisy roomlimited outlets
the breakfast view was very nice.
the room was very noisy because of a motor running all night above the bed. there were very few outlets available, i had to unplug lamps to charge devices. there was almost no furniture to put my things on, especially since the room was small.

large roombroken handleno air conditioning
Breakfast was nice. I had a large room .
There was no air conditioning. The room got uncomfortably hot, especially at night. The handle on the bathroom door was broken. This made it difficult to close the door properly. I found the cold water refill broken too. This meant I could not get fresh drinking water.
