On check in I asked about "fresh" Milk. Was told it was in the fridge. No "Fresh" milk but little containers. No service to room over weekends - I do like fresh linen and towels. Considering the price I would have thought the above would be minimum.

The room Itself was good with a good bed and great shower. The person on the reception desk was not very friendly and didnt really look like he wanted to be there. Not a good first impression.
