My first backpacking experience that...

Liked: It’s spacious, quiet n comfy. I like how ununinstrusive staff was. the staff love the spritely little woman that cleaned the kitchen was. I fell in love with her: hunle, diligent in her work n her unspoken humbleness a a person. She deserves a raise!! Ot even be considered for job redesign! Acknowledge her for me please!
Disliked: The security was a little of a challenge but sgain im old school
