old carpet small bed

The location was perfect for departing to the airport in the morning. The shuttle was punctual.

The room was old and clearly in need of an update. The carpet looked old. The bed sagged in the middle and was rather small. The bathtub also was quite worn, which i found disappointing.

I was hoping for a restful night before an early flight, but the room's temperature was difficult to manage. The air conditioning unit struggled to cool the entire room effectively. The noise from nearby traffic was noticeable, it affected my ability to relax before my travels.
