helpful staff bath tub different room hot room electrics fault terrible pillows

The staff was very helpful. I could not get a bath tub when I got in the room. I went back to reception, and he changed to a different room with a bathtub. my boy needed a bathtub, so he changed to a different room kindly.

The room was too hot and the aircon took hours to cool it down as it did not go any lower than 18°. the kettle was unable to work because there was a fault with the electrics in our room. The pillows were terrible, so lumpy I ended up just laying my head on the mattress.
