Acceptable, but Underwhelming Stay

arctic air conditioningstingy minibar
The air conditioning seemed permanently set to arctic. I fiddled with the controls to no avail. the minibar only contained water and lemonade. I expect at least some crisps and a chocolate bar. A wider selection of drinks would be nice too.
