Small Room and No In-Room Coffee

small room no coffee
The location was acceptable.
The room I booked was small. The shower was also tiny. It reminded me of 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.

automatic fan drink unavailability
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.
