The bed was comfortable. A reading lamp was located near the bed and the chair. I had access to an iron, a hair dryer, and a full-length mirror. The provided towels were soft.
I noticed one of the towels had what was to be makeup stains. Breakfast was busy, and I observed issues with milk availability, slow toaster operation, and missing mugs.
