Activity 3 Salt and Pepper

My hotel would be along the beach in Perth Australia.
It would be made of concrete and wood.
There would be a pool and spa there would also be a restaurant.
In my hotel there would be 25 rooms.
The rooms would be quite big with a bathroom, kitchen, and depending
what room 1,2 or 3 bedrooms, and a little living room with a TV.
It would be a smoothed out concrete as the walls on the outside.
On the inside the walls would be a normal smooth wood wall painted white.
