excellent location convenient access friendly staff missing coffee machine absent water minibar malfunction

The location was excellent. It allowed convenient access to many key points of interest. The provided breakfast was very nice. I found the staff were friendly.

The room lacked a coffee machine, a small oversight I noted. A complimentary bottle of water was absent. The absence of even a small detail surprised me in mid-summer. The minibar didn't work either.

broken fridge missing water bottle

The location was acceptable, as it was near many shops.

The mini fridge in my room did not work, a big problem during mid-summer. There wasn't even a complimentary bottle of water provided. It seemed like a basic amenity to lack, which I found rather stingy.
