Acceptable Stay Near the Station

convenient locationsilk wallpaperunsecured hallwayneeded vacuuming
The location was convenient as it was close to the bus terminal. This made arrival and departure easier since the city lacks roads. The room had Venetian decor with silk wallpaper and a glass chandelier.
The stairs leading to my floor needed vacuuming. the hallways needed a wash and fresh paint.
