Mixed Feelings About My Stay
uncomfortable bed awkward arrangement
The hotel location is very convenient, with access to most places in the area.
I found the room quite uncomfortable. The bed was too high for me. The sofas also lacked comfort, and their arrangement seemed awkward. The wardrobe should have been taller to properly hang clothes.
