Clean room. Easy but key free access. We stayed for 3 nights, 4 days and asked for a towel change and were told we would get one but we didn't. As the place isn't staffed we had to use old towels. Shame because, had it not been for this, we would have gu en it a 5 out of 5. I don't think it unreasonable to get a towel change particularly when they said we would.
