relaxed staff friendly staff missing milk missing cups

the staff was relaxed and friendly. the hotel had a well organised in-house beer brewery.

i found that there were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. teas and coffees were in a communal area on each floor, but there was never any milk, and on one occasion there were no cups.
