plug socket availabilityfridge milkfair menulack privacyorange juice requestextra tea fee

The room was well-equipped. I found plenty of plug sockets available. Real milk in the fridge was a nice touch, it made my morning coffee better. The service was good, I found the menu in the restaurant fair with a good selection.

All window blinds had to stay closed. The bathroom lacked privacy glass, and this made it necessary. I had to ask for orange juice at breakfast. It was not readily available. I paid extra for a second cup of tea, this seemed excessive considering the room rate.

The bathroom was a bit of a letdown. The door kept sticking and i almost got trapped inside. the shower temperature was also erratic. It swung from cold to scalding hot in seconds, quite unpleasant. i also found it odd that they charged extra for a second cup of coffee at breakfast! it seemed a bit stingy, especially considering the room rate.
