Mixed Feelings About My Room

swimming poolthin mattress protector
The pool was a bonus. I enjoyed my time there.
Our room was not great. I could hear the conversations of people in the neighboring rooms as well as the bathroom plumbing. The mattress protectors were so thin I felt every button and dip in the mattress. It made sleeping difficult.
