adequate stay, but some issues

dead remote ridiculous policy
the location was fine, quite central.
The tv remote was dead one night and nobody was available to replace the batteries. i also ran out of toilet paper. The receptionist refused to give me an extra roll. i had to walk quite a distance to buy my own. Ridiculous policy.
