the airport shuttle service was practical.

the room i got smelled like it had been used for smoking even though it was supposed to be a non-smoking room. honestly, it felt a bit grimy to me. i paid for breakfast, but it looked really unappetizing, so i returned the takeaway box to reception instead of wasting it.
