Disliked: Amenities
The room felt a bit old and unloved, the bathroom especially. The kitchenette wasn’t even a kitchenette, there was only a couple of cups and glasses and a spoon, kettle, and microwave. No plates or bowls, no toaster, no cutlery. The tv was difficult to understand how to use and didn’t have any channel guide. It was fine to come and go from, but I’d probably try somewhere else next time.
