Balanced stay

unique building lovely staff clean room tourist areas cement render
the building had a unique beauty. the staff seemed kind, always ready with a helping hand. the room was clean beyond words. breakfast in the main building felt special, like stepping back in time.
the hotel was a little away from the main tourist areas. this meant i depended on transport to reach the riverfront. i noticed a lingering smell of cement render in the block where my room stood.
