cold water carpet stains
The room was spacious, and the staff were excellent and professional.
The shower did not get hot ENOUGH, and it was necessary to turn on the cold water in the bath to achieve a better temperature. A few stains marked the carpet. Surely they could have been cleaned. This carelessness gave a poor impression.
