my family and i had a room with a fridge. our family room offered generous space. the room more than met our needs. breakfast had a wide choice, and the staff remade my grandson's eggs exactly as he wished.
The room was dated and didn't quite meet expectations. Doors didn't even close properly. the toilet seat moved a bit. wallpaper was coming away from the wall. i wasn't impressed.
