A Clean Respite on My Journey

tidy roomcomfortable bedfresh airfresh fruit
The room felt tidy and had necessary basics. The bed offered great comfort. I could open the windows and enjoy fresh air and this felt rare. Breakfast had variety and some fresh fruit, a lovely addition.
I found a very small detail I didnt liked. The towel felt a bit rough when I dried my hands.
