acceptable breakfastcheap bathroomthin mattresses

breakfast was acceptable, i suppose, i had some bread.

my room was not what i expect. the bathroom seemed cheap and had a plastic feel. the beds were separate and the mattresses were thin, causing them to slip easily. i found it impossible to sleep soundly without waking.
