helpful staff serene gardens stained carpets extra charge

the staff was helpful in giving directions to nearby attractions. the gardens provided a serene atmosphere, even though it was centrally located.

The carpets in the stairwell had some visible stains. the hotel charged extra for basic tea during the complimentary breakfast. This felt odd.
