a mixed bag of experiences

unmanned hotelodd telly placement
The hotel felt pretty unmanned. i walked in and it seemed like a ghost town, a bit unsettling. also, i wasn't thrilled that the breakfast was just a hamper in the room. I wanted a nice hot breakfast, not some packaged stuff. and the telly placement was odd, it was sort of blocking the bathroom door. i nearly tripped over the uneven floors too.
