acceptable breakfastdated bathroompoor sound proofing
the breakfast, i guess, was acceptable and i did not feel robbed.
My room was seriously dated, especially the bathroom, it was like stepping back into the seventies. the shower was a dribble more than a wash. the sound proofing was non existent. I heard every cough and conversation from the next room.
