Just Okay, I Guess
convenient locationmusty odoruncomfortable bed
The location proved convenient. It was fairly close to the train station.
The room showed its age. Peeling wallpaper and a musty odor permeated the air. I found only a small bar of soap as the sole toiletry provision in the bathroom. I expected a bit more. The bed was also not comfortable AT ALL!!!
