a good stay!!!

renovated hotel charging ports tasty breakfast

the hotel was beautifully renovated. my room included plenty of sockets. charging ports were available everywhere, so that was useful. the breakfast was also tasty and good.

i noticed some wires were hanging from the ceiling in the bedroom. this looked unfinished and could be a potential hazard. i believe it should be addressed soon.
