Eve

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The Thermal Pool was the only good thing. King size bed with only 2 pillows, one extra in the cupboard. One top sheet and thin duvet you could spit thru, no extra bedding in cupboard. Air con was either hot or cold, nothing consistent. Fridge rattled and clanged all night. Room decor was tired. Too much door and corridor noise. Restaurant was pretty ordinary, unwashed side salad with no dressing. Most of the menu was deep fried offerings. Will not go back.
