small fridgeuncomfortable chairfoul-tasting cereal
The size of the room was acceptable. It included facilities such as a small fridge. Milk, cereal, coffee and tea were provided.
I found one chair uncomfortable. Breakfast in the room consisted of ultra-processed cornflakes. A foul-tasting cereal bar was also available. Is there no healthier portable food?

The gravel drive made walking a bit of a pain. the bed was also softer than i prefer. I sank right in. plus, i think i heard someone chucking up next door.. the walls seemed paper thin.
