radio music fresh milk high-quality bath item missing blind noisy fridge spoiled milk
The room was quite nice and well-equipped. A radio played relaxing music when I arrived. I found fresh milk and bottled water in the small fridge. The hand wash and bath items were also of high quality.
The room did not have blinds. I felt overlooked until I closed the curtains.
