Disappointing

The room,a suite, initially looked great with a nice sized balcony etc. However in time we discovered that 1. The door did not lock from the inside 2. The shower was left in a disgusting state. Obviously they were cleaning the drain, did not close it up and it was filthy and the cleaning team should have sorted it out,so we were unable to use the shower 3. Despite the hotel providing a large complimentary water bottle, there were no water glasses. 4. There were no towel rails/place to hang towels up. 5. There was no top sheet which we like instead of just a hot heavy duvet However,the maintenance team was excellent and fixed the issues we reported efficiently.
