The location

The room was extremely hot and no cold tap just very hot water or hot water Dirty hair in the bath The curtain rail fell of the wall when we tried to close the curtains, husband reattached but couldn’t close curtains so light blazed in the room soon as it got light Bed uncomfortable Dead pidgin directly outside the window

Very nice. I met a man who likes squirrels, He is my friend now.

9.0

I really like Squirrels and I think they are quite possibly my fav animal. The man I met in the lobby also liked Squirrels and now we are friends. I like him. I think he liked me but mainly I liked him. But not as much as squirrels.

There could be more pictures of squirrels up. Or a squirrel themed room for people that like squirrels. Also I would stay in it.
