"The rooms are booked, two to a room. Take your keys and get yourselves settled."
Xiao Wu eagerly jumped down from the carriage. The moment her feet touched the ground, the sight before her stunned her all over again.
This hotel... was huge!
The five-story building was built of wood and stone, with sweeping eaves, bracketed arches, carved beams, and painted rafters.
