friendly staff vegetable selection hard center plug hole

The staff was friendly. The carvery offered a lovely selection of vegetables, and the food tasted good. The chef, Matt, seemed cheerful. The manager chatted politely with customers.

The double bed was two singles pushed together. The center was hard. Noises came from the bath plug hole between 10 and 11 pm. IT WAS a great disturbance.
