Mattresses were both completely done for, sunk into it like a water bed and back aches today. Sheets so thin that you could see past blood stains in the duvet thru the cover. Pillows felt like from ikea on the discount rack My entire purpose here was to get some sleep and i was up all night. I guess this is the price i pay for being cheap on a hotel but same time how difficult is it to have proper mattress and linens?
