cosy room cute staff continental breakfast full bin expensive menu pricey drinks

I found the room so cosy and charming. the staff greeted me warmly, even though i arrived late because of traffic. They even kept a table for me! a help-yourself continental breakfast was such a bonus for my early flight. I loved the coffee and pastries!!!

the rubbish bin in my room was full and i found that a little off-putting. the menu seemed quite expensive and i didn't find the selection amazing. also, the drinks were pricier than i expected.
