mixed feelings about stay

stained carpets inadequate heating

Upon arrival, i noticed the carpets were stained. That's not acceptable. the bathroom lacked proper heating. This NEEDS fixing. The shower cubicle proved difficult to access due to its proximity to the basin. i'm sure other guests have felt the same.
