Balanced stay with minor issues

dog treat apple pie comfortable bed emergency light sleep disturbance no hot water
The dog received a sausage for breakfast before we could reach the buffet table. I enjoyed the Pork and Apple pie at dinner in the pub. The bed was comfortable.
A light in the room could not be turned off. I believe it was an emergency light. This disturbed my sleep slightly. There was no hot water .
