stained carpet thin pillows

The bathroom size was good.

The room was far from my expectations. The carpet was old and stained. I didn't even want to remove my shoes. The bed reminded me of sleeping on a rock, and the pillows were thin.

dated furniture stained carpets

I found the room to be quite disappointing. the furniture looked dated and rather basic. i noticed stains on the carpets and chairs. The bed squeaked loudly even with minimal movement. this fell short of the standard i anticipate given the reputation.
