The walll heater was too small for the unit and had a low heat coming out of one side. Even when turned up it made no difference. The room was cold especially at night and looked and felt miserable to the point where my husband and I abandoned our stay. For the money paid it was well over priced. The spare blanket in the room was too dirty to put on the bed. When we arrived at our room there was a pile of washing sitting on the floor close by with no-one in sight to pick it up. Ring in bathroom for holding a small towel was broken. We met an employee as we left and he advised us we could have called maintenance even although there was no reference to be able to contact anyone responsible in the facility. We will not use this facility again. It was our first and last time we will be staying there.
