quick check-inbathroom hairshigh minibar prices

The staff helped me check in quickly. (I was tired from traveling all day.)

I found hairs in the bathroom upon arrival. The minibar prices were too high. It lacked variety. The selection included only soft drinks and a few alcoholic beverages. There were no snacks available.
