a decent stay, some hiccups

large roomcomfortable bedrestaurant foodcarpet smellhospital patient roomcleaning quality
the room was bigger than i hoped. the bed, i gotta say, was really comfortable i sleped like a baby! the food in the restaurant, wow, it was good and looked great, proper fancy. brekkie, yeah, it was amazing and i got a coffee fix.
the carpet smell was not the best. it did not smell nice and the room had a weird smell. the carpet's color made it look like i was in a hospital ward. the cleaning was not very good, like they missed spots.
