The aircon didn’t work at arrival for all the rooms due to them using a small generator. However, very nice, clean, safe, manager addressed all our issues and concern. They switched to the big generator as soon as I complained within a few hours.

Hotelli mainostaa asioita, joita heillä ei ole. Menin hotelliin uima- altaan ja kylpylän takia, joita kumpaakaan ei ole ollenkaan. Hotellissa ei tiedetty tulostani, kuten ei missään paikassa, jotka olen varannut Hotels.comin kautta. Yritettiin järjestää uima-allas paikkaa, mutta ei sekään onnistunut. Ehdotettiin hierojalla käyntiä kylpylän sijasta. Hotellissa oli sauna, jota kokeilin. Sauna itsessään hyvä, mutta suihkut kuntosalin toisella puolella. Ei pukeutumispaikkaa, ei mahdollisuutta sulkea ovia, ei ripaa saunan ovessa sisäpuolella ym. Aamiainen hyvä, mutta kallis. Sauna unohdettiin lämmittää sopimuksista huolimatta. Mentyäni saunaan, se oli kylmä. Henkilökunta yritti selittää ja osa ymmärtäväisiä. Huone oli siisti ja mukava.

The staff opened the door while I was in the room. The reception said that I had no tag of 'Do not disturb' on my door that's why. I was alone but what if you were with your girlfriend. It seems that the hotel no has feeling of sorry for this.
