    If i were to real time translate, it would be something like: I went to a shop across the hotel, I saw a suit there, and I wanted to try it on.

      More like:

      My hotel’s vicinity, within it there is a store where I saw a suit that I want to try on.

      It doesn’t say anything about going to the store and it is in the current tense of wanting to try on something that you past-tense saw within the subordinate clause.
