drink absence small room
The lack of available soft drinks was a real disappointment. i wished i could have purchased a cold drink or snack at the hotel, especially after a long day. Nothing was available besides breakfast. also, i found completing a breakfast order form by 10pm a little inconvenient. I prefer to decide what to eat in the morning. the room size felt quite small too.

limited refreshments restrictive form
The lack of readily available refreshments was frustrating. I wanted to buy a soft drink or a snack, but nothing was available outside of breakfast hours. and to fill in a breakfast choice form by 10 pm felt unnecessarily restrictive. I prefer more spontaneity in the mornings.
