useful fridge available cutlery hot water

The room included a fridge, useful for storing drinks and snacks. Plates, glasses, and cutlery were available. This meant I could easily have a meal in my room (I brought my own food). The shower had good pressure, and the water was consistently hot.

The bathroom window needed better cleaning.
