broom closet empty minibar

The breakfast selection was acceptable. Nothing special, but enough to get by.

i booked a king room but ended up in what reminded me of a broom closet. i went back to reception, of course. they seemed annoyed i dared to ask for the room i paid for! also, the minibar was empty. seriously, what's the point of even having one if it's just a hollow box?
