Hotel problems
These two signs were both in a hotel I stayed in near Salzburg last week.
But what is wrong?
Answers below!
ANSWERS!
In the first photo, it should say ''non-smoking'', not ''non-smoker''!

''You have two kinds of pillow to choose from.'', or
''You have a choice of two kinds of pillow.''
