a satisfactory overnight stay

coffee machine mini fridge limited window unclear signage

the room was clean and well-equipped. it included a coffee machine and a mini fridge, which i found useful (i do enjoy a good coffee). the bathroom had both hair and body products.

the window in my room opened only a few inches, it was not ideal. also, i found it a little difficult to locate my room, the signage within the maze of corridors was not very clear.
