dirty windows limited equipment
The minibar fridge was tiny. It had only drinks and alcohol. It lacked items for a quick snack. I could not make a hot drink in the room because there was no kettle. The room's windows were dirty, and the shutters would not fully retract. I feel a bit frustrated because there was no description of food at breakfast.
