fresh milkmagic spray
The room included fresh milk for coffee in the morning. Plus there was sleep spray! My son thought it was magic spray. This helped him sleep. The staff even organized a takeaway box when we had early breakfast so we could bring some food with us.
The wine list was good! though when I settled our tab via a QR code. The price of the bottle of wine had increased, it was amateurish.
