Small Room and No In-Room Coffee

acceptable locationsmall roomno coffee
The location was acceptable.
The room I booked was small. The shower was also tiny. It seemed like stepping into a cramped closet. There were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room, annoying. Waiting until 7 AM to get a coffee in the dining room is too late for me.

location was acceptable as many restaurants are nearby.
The room was small and it featured separated shower and toilet rooms, i found this arrangement annoying. the toilet had an automatic fan and light that was noisy at night when activated. there was also no tea or coffee in the rooms. I was forced to wait until 7am to get a drink in the dining room.
