Do you want to warm up your food or watch TV, because you can't do both as the microwave and the TV use the same plug. When I suggested a simple adaptor to solve the problem to the front desk I was told that they didn't one.
Do you want to iron your clothes ? The room had a perfectly good iron, it just lacked an ironing board.
On the positive side, the room had good space and a nice view of the Manhattan skyline.
