Weathered hotel

The bench at the end of the bed was heavily stained. The one comfortable chair's seat cushion was old and cracked and shedding all over the place. We had moved our daughter into her dorm and was looking forward to sitting in the hot tub and sadly it was empty. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time. I accidentally left two chargers into the wall behind the chair because there was only one plug on my side of the bed. I called when I got back to St. Louis and of course no found my chargers.

Property continues to need updating (in process), I did not see those areas. Why do you not recycle? It seems it was done in years past and now has stopped. What a shame for the environment.
