We had to straighten it out several times. The toothbrush/shaver charge point in the en-suite didnât work. The shelf in the bottom of the fridge door was broken at one end. A lot of the wardrobe space was taken up by storage bags which left no space for stowing suitcases. During our stay someone put up 3 notices reminding people to be quiet when using the common spaces and that children under 10 were not allowed. We werenât aware of any excessive noise/ children during our stay and found the notes to be a little disconcerting.
