restrictive hourschipped tiles

The serving hours felt quite restrictive, especially given the time of year. To stop serving drinks at the pub by 9 PM felt strange. My room lacked a proper seating area. I found this inconvenient when I wanted to relax with a drink away from the public areas. The wallpaper was faded and the bathroom showed signs of wear with chipped tiles.
