dead battery late passcode
the communal kitchen had both fridgespaces and microwave ovens so that was acceptable i suppose.
The tv remote did not work at all, i think the battery's were dead. I mean, it's not rocket science to check these things. also, the passcode i needed should have arrived at 1400, but it only arrived at 1515 after i had to phone. real smooth operation there.

modern room large kitchen area easy access thin toilet paper no fridge electric shower
The room was modern! the communal area downstairs has a large kitchen area and a pool table. access is easy with the key lock system. The number arrived before i did. parking is wonderful, shared with the industrial complex next door, and there is a code for after-hours access. apply, twice.
the toilet paper was thin, single sheet stuff. there is no fridge in the room! the electric shower's temperature changed suddenly. the tv was on the side of the room, and it made viewing from the bed difficult.
