mixed feelings about my room

missing headboardsoftware update
i was not happy with the room. there were no bedside lamps in the room, so it was very dark at night. the tv also did not work, it needed a password for a software update. also, one of the beds headboards was missing, so it looks like the hotel had a single room changed to a twin one.
