outdated decor stray hair
the room seemed a little tired. the decor was like a throwback to the '90s. also, finding a hair that wasn't mine in the shower is never a highlight. the complimentary biscuits? tasted like they'd been there since the last millennium. i expected a bit more sparkle, i suppose.
