good breakfastfloral patternsweak water pressure
the breakfast was good so i didn't starve.
The room felt a bit like a time capsule from the 70s, complete with questionable floral patterns. the shower was a sad trickle. I've seen garden hoses with more pressure. also, the tv remote seemed to have a mind of its own. it would change channels at random, like a poltergeist with a penchant for reality tv.
