spacious roomshower moldrough towels
The room was quite spacious. It met expectations.
The bathroom situation was a bit of a letdown. There was mold in the shower. also, the water pressure was practically nonexistent, a mere trickle. to top it off, the towels felt rather rough, definitely not the fluffy kind i was hoping for after a long day.
