The way that hotels make beds is not for the comfort of the customer but for the appearance of the room. As usual I ended up unmaking and remaking the bed to make it possible to sleep In comfort. I can’t believe anyone likes feeling like they are in a Straight jacket when they sleep. Otherwise the room was clean and comfortable enough.
