The pool was dirty, the pictures did not match what the room was like which was run down wall paper coming off the walls and water damage on the sink. The bath was so slippery I fell and hurt myself. We were going to tell reception but there was no one there and no one there to collect out key, despite ringing the door bell and calling them.
