dusty corners busy spa

The room was smaller than expected. i found some dust in the corners near the floor. It seemed like it hadn't been cleaned thoroughly. the spa was quite busy. It was difficult to get a time slot i wanted. there were some loud guests. They disrupted the relaxation i hoped for.

The room included a minibar stocked with various drinks and snacks I appreciated this amenity. There was a work desk with multiple power outlets for charging devices I used it often. The bed had premium bedding and plush pillows I slept very well.
