spacious room different types nice bathroom bad pillows good restaurants inconsistent schedule
the room was spacious. it had many different types of lights. the bathroom was nice. the cosy carpet felt good (i really liked walking barefoot).
i noticed the pillows were bad. i didn't find good restaurants in the area. the restaurants didn't seem to have a consistent schedule, so it was hard to plan.
