10/10 Excellent
"If I have to mention one thing that deserves not even one star, it is the coffee maker in the room. The coffee Keur brand and the amount of water used for the machine, tasted like water. It Even with the given instruction how to use this machine , it took for ever. And was tasteless. For a room that charges $500 a night we expected some good coffee! Respectfully.
