free coffee subway stop dining area handy supermarket

my room included a kettle. coffee and tea were available for free at any time from a machine in the dining area. i found the location very good (it's always a plus). it's close to two subway stops, which makes getting around easy. a supermarket nearby was very convenient for snacks.

the shower's water pressure was a bit low. this made rinsing off quickly a small challenge.
