fresh coffee spacious haven missing door ineffectual fan

The staff greeted me warmly upon arrival. A tender welcome, indeed. my room, a spacious haven, provided fresh coffee, brewed with a french press, to accompany my breakfast. the granola and muffins proved delectable, a true morning romance.

I noticed the shower lacked a door! the water accumulated quickly, i had to pause the flow twice to prevent overflow. A minor inconvenience. cobwebs hung from the ceiling. I thought the extractor fan proved ineffectual. Alas, some cleanliness was wanting.

dirty carpet inadequate cleanliness

the twin room suited my needs well enough.

I found the cleanliness to be a letdown. The carpet seemed like it hadn't seen a vacuum in ages. breakfast was a basic affair with a muffin i couldn't eat due to nut allergies, and the bowl i received had remnants from a previous guest. this lack of attention to detail.
