a tender stay

the location proved convenient, with plentiful and affordable parking facilities nearby. staff members extended helpful and informative service. i could bring my beloved dog, the world ( a heartwarming experience).
The room felt a bit confined, especially with my dog. The tv seemed quite small. the remote controls did not work initially, slightly frustrating.
