The room was spotless, we saw no - one.
We appreciate that we finally had a Ph number that was answered on our arrival to help us deal with our entry problems.
Apart from that, I had asked 3 separate questions by text & not one of them was answered, it felt like we were communicating with a robot.
the room was awful had mould in the shower, holes in the walls. had been plastered a bit around the ranch slider but not painted. most walls had damage. was very run down in a poor condition.

The bed is way too old and saggy needs to be replaced in unit 3
We do how ever enjoy staying there for the geothermal pool and we're regulars there
Thank you
Just need a bit of CRC on the door. Try to open and close it and sometimes it wont open until you wiggle it backwards and forwards a bit, then it opens.
The whole checking in system made it easy to access our room without waiting and the the thermal tub was great way to soak and relax the bosy before bed.
