lumpy pillowsserious dusting
I had a bit of a time trying to get comfortable. the pillows were oddly lumpy, and i swear they were plotting against my neck all night. plus, the room was like it needed a serious dusting. I'm pretty sure i saw dust bunnies staging a takeover under the bed. it wasn't the end of the world, but i expected a bit more polish for what i paid.
