worn fixtures limited parking

The room felt less excellent up close i noticed some wear and tear. the bathroom fixtures showed their age. also, the limited parking became a real hassle one evening after returning from dinner. I had to park quite far from the entrance. the breakfast, while decent, lacked variety over my several days. it seemed repetitive and i craved a bit more freshness.
