underwhelming stay

disintegrated bath panelcloudy pool
The sports bar was closed, leaving few options with overpriced drinks. This felt limiting. also, the room showed significant wear and tear. there was mould, a disintegrated bath panel, and a non-functioning extractor fan in my room. the spa facilities also disappointed, with dirty towels, broken lockers, and a cloudy pool.
