a somewhat underwhelming stay

thin pillows missing facilities
the location was acceptable, placing me within reasonable distance of the attractions.
I found my room quite disappointing. the lack of tea or coffee making facilities in the room was a significant drawback. i also noticed the pillows were uncomfortably thin. When i requested additional ones, i was told none were available because the hotel was fully booked.
