cold room hair on bedsheets
The rooftop view was nice. The location was also convenient.
The room was far from super clean. The bedsheets had some hair on them. The water didn't get very warm. The room remained quite cold even with the heating system on during winter. I had to spend the first night underprepared for the weather.
