tiny room baffling temperature controls
the location was acceptable for getting around town.
The room was tiny. it reminded me of a slightly more upscale prison cell with floral wallpaper. the temperature controls were baffling. I couldn't seem to get the room to a comfortable temperature. a small window offered no discernible view. Just the brick wall next door.
