COMPARE: • I was in a terrible hotel. The staff was bad, and the food too. The building was old, and I didn’t have a good time. • This was by far the worst hotel I’ve ever been to. The rooms were dark and dingy, and I wouldn’t feed the food to my dog. I really found it a little hard to find time to enjoy myself. I wish I hadn’t been there.
