communal area helpful staff missing kettle inoperable window

The room size was great. The shower was beautifully done. It was very good! The staff was very helpful. The communal area was well set out, and the breakfasts tasted nice.

The bedroom lacked the kettle. It also lacked cups. Tea was not there and coffee was not present as indicated. I needed to request all of that from them. The bedroom window was inoperable.
