clean bathroom quality toiletries comfortable bed toilet flush certain force toilet bowl
The bathroom was spotlessly clean. I found good quality toiletries were provided. The bed was comfortable, and there was a good choice of pillows. I noticed there were good coffee and tea making facilities and the kettle was scrupulously clean inside..
I encountered a problem with the toilet flush. It required a certain amount of force and speed to operate. This made it quite difficult to use, though the design of the toilet bowl itself was very beautiful.
