stocked fridge coffee machine bathroom tv chipping paint unclean chair missing outlet

The room was lovely and had many amenities. I found a fridge stocked with water and milk, quite useful. There was also a coffee machine with lots of teas, biscuits, and bathrobes AND slippers. The bathroom included a tv for viewing while in the bath. That was quite nice.

The room i got felt a bit old. There was chipping paint throughout. The upholstered chair and ottoman looked like they had never been cleaned. I did not want to touch it. there were no outlets or phone chargers near the bed, ANNOYING.

The breakfast offered a buffet and a menu. I thought that was a great touch! The gym had three treadmills and two stationary bikes. I was very thankful.

Accessing the spa required walking outside. I felt cold in the colder months..
