An Lovely Experience

opulent atmosphere complimentary upgrade amazing room clean space
The building held an opulent atmosphere, and the cleanliness throughout impressed me greatly. We were given a complimentary upgrade to a suite! I found the room had an amazing size. I felt spoiled by a very clean space.
I must mention the location is not necessarily in a particularly attractive area. I found it rather common.
