No one at reception, phone number on door didn't work. Waited half an hr., then finally found number on website. Reception mostly closed. Only 1 TV station available, tho Netflix advertised. Asked staff to fix twice - they were nice enough, but never got fixed. Grit or sand on kitchen area floor when we arrived, not swept in the 3 days we were there.

The bed was comfortable enough and bedding was crisp and clean. The windows were mouldy, and a lot of condensation. The kitchen venetian blind didnt go up or down or open and it let a lot of light in. The bathroom heater didnt work and the floor was very cold. The spa bath was huge and lovely but bubbles weren't very strong. The towels were replaced the next day but no facecloths and bed didnt get made.

The reception had very bad service, I went to reception to ask the wifi password, the old lady told me: " Go back your room to check the Service Guide book！" I said: "Do you have a service book here, please? can you please tell me where it is? I can not find it. "she got a service book from her back seat desk and opened the page said:"It's on the third paragraph , go back to your room to check " I said :"Can you pass this book let me see please? " she just put the book back to where it was and said again:" Go back to your room check it!"......I was stayed two nights, but first day I had very cold night without heatpump, I have to use my outdoor sleeping bag and covered my jacket sleeping over night. When I find the heatpump doesn't work, i went to reception(around 11pm), there was lights off and no one here, so I didn't call them, They gave me a heater next day, the room attendant and other stuff was nice, she said sorry, we couldn't do anything until next Tuesday, because it is long weekend.when I plugged the power, I saw here already had another heat behind the sofa, It is clear that there was knowledge the heatpump was not working as there turned out to be a heater there already behind the sofa. so I understand they sale the unqualified room to the guest, I was not informed of this at all and had a freezing first night. ......
