fine breakfastair conditioning lackbathroom hairs

The breakfast was fine. It was nothing special, but acceptable.

I really hated the lack of air conditioning. The room became so stuffy. i had trouble sleeping because of it. also, i noticed a few hairs in the bathroom sink. That wasn't very appealing or clean.
