Satisfying City Stay

clean roomcoffee facilitycomfortable bedcomplicated heater
The room was clean. I found tea and coffee making facilities available. That was useful. The shower was good and the bed felt comfortable. An iron and dryer were also provided in the room, which I consider very helpful for a traveler.
The room's heater seemed overly complicated to operate. It kept cutting out, and it did not properly heat the room. It kept switching off during the night.
