mixed feelings about this stay

hard bed inconvenient bathroom
the room decor was modern and clean, something i can appreciate.
The bed was far too firm. I barely slept a wink, annoying. needing to cross a public hallway to get to my bathroom was inconvenient.. the motion-sensor lights kept turning off while i was using the toilet. I was like i was at a rave waving my arms around.
