central locationstorage lockerstiff pillowsdusty ac

The location had proximity to the historical sites. I appreciated they allowed me to store my backpack in a locker until it was time to check in. The room had everything I needed to be comfortable. I found this excellent.

The pillows were uncomfortable! too stiff, and my neck was hurting afterward. The AC started smelling too dusty when I tried to use it, which I did not appreciate. Once I turned off the AC it got hot again very fast.
