a tender touch near the station

warm welcomeluggage storage
the station was ever so close, i loved this. the staff gave a warm welcome each day, it reminded me of home. they stored my luggage upon arrival before check in, it eased my travel.
the stairs at the entrance made carrying luggage a small task. it needs doing to it, stains all over the bed mold in the bathroom.
