lumpy pillows old fashioned decor

the welcome was friendly and the room had a little fridge which i found acceptable.

the decor felt old fashioned it was like stepping back into the 90s i also struggled to find a plug socket for my phone i had to unplug the clock radio by moving one of the beds forward the lumpy pillows didn't help either they made it difficult to get comfortable.
