the room had a mini fridge and a kettle. it also had effective air conditioning (a real plus!). cleaning was really good throughout my stay and i appreciated that.

the water bottle in the mini bar cost $4, which seemed a bit much for just one small bottle. it would be better if water was complimentary or more reasonably priced.
