the room had a decent size, wich was ok.

i wasnt happy with the heating. the room was freezing, and when i complained, nothing really happened. plus, the breakfast jam situation with a spoon sticking out of the jar seemed pretty unhygienic to me, especially not knowing if someones already lick or leave on the floor.
