some issues I faced

small duvet unhelpful staff

the duvet they provided was quite small. it felt more like a single size even on a double bed and not so warm. i also noted no hot water at night after a certain hour and the staff didn't mention it. the heater wasn't working well and when i contacted reception, they were not helpful. felt the staff member could have tried harder.
