The staff printed my presentation without any problems. The receptionist Rebekah seemed very cute on my late arrival. She even fetched a soft pillow for me, because the others were TOO firm.

I was quite disappointed as I walked up to check in. There were rotten window frames. DEAD plants surrounded the entrance. The public areas just LOOKED neglected.
