10/10 Excellent
"It wouldve been nice to have extra supplies in the room already rather than have to ask for stuff all the time. Especially over the xmas period. Hand towels should be automatic. It woukd be nice if you provided face washers also. Otherwise everything was lovely. Please update your compendium if you don't provide the contour memory foam pillows any more. "
