Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

excellent receptionvarious foodfully stocked shopfreezing swimming poolimproper room cleaningbath residue
The reception area had a wow factor. The restaurant also impressed me. I could select from various foods. The hotel shop was fully stocked and it included everything needed (this was very convenient).
The swimming pools were freezing. It was too cold for me to use them. My room was not cleaned properly, so there were hairs all over the bathroom. Residue was around the top of the bath.
