salvatore, westerly

First thing I noticed was the table hadn’t been cleaned prior to my entry. Small room, uncomfortable mattress and inconvenient to get from main lobby to room. There was absolutely nothing special or anything to justify the cost. Thought I’d give it a try because I’d been to the rooftop bar before but live and learn.
