ordering systemunattended gardencigarette smell
The breakfast ordering system was a new concept to me. It involved making my selections the day before. It was acceptable.
The outside needed some love. The garden seemed to have been forgotten. There were also refuse bins and a plant pot full of cigarette butts near the front door. The inside had a faint smell of cigarette smoke also.
