unique breakfast wheelchair request quiet hotel broken elevator unexplained policy small room
I super enjoyed the breakfast each day. It was not monotonous. There was somethin' unique each morning. Every request I made were met with such enthusiasm. I needed a wheelchair, and an extra chair, like, instantly. I seemed alone on my side of the hotel, so it was quiet and nice!
Out of the two elevators, like, ONE was always out of order. Sometimes, both elevators were outta commission. the hotel gym policy, totally unexplained. Some trainer confronted me, a trainer who rented space in the gym. The rooms were too small, and the bathroom didn't give much leg room at all, its a shame.
