soft beds crumpled bathrobes
The beds were too soft. It reminded me of sinking into a marshmallow! and those bathrobes? they looked like they survived a washing machine wrestling match. the street noise at night was relentless. I swear the garbage truck had a personal vendetta against sleep. also, finding the right wifi code reminded me of cracking a da vinci code. there were all those young, inexperienced staff. I think they were still learning the ropes.

The suite, a beautiful king, provided a good respite. i liked the plug sockets that were near the bed. That was SO thoughtful. the coffee machine was also good to have. breakfast felt abundant with its extensive buffet.
Accessing the swimming pool required an additional payment. I found THAT surprising.
