tender moments in a snug escape

kind staffpeaceful silencespecial touch

the staff, they welcomed me like i belonged, so warm and kind they were. the room, it held such peaceful silence, far away from busy streets. i loved the proper milk with my tea, it reminded me of a special touch and room service was so quick.

the lighting felt dim for me, it gave my room a slightly odd feeling.
