disappointing
Unhelpful staff and haphazard cleaning ruined an otherwise pleasant stay. The gym and the room were cleaned rather half-heartedly with gym equipment dirty and dirty coffee cups left in the room. The low point of the stay was reception refusing to call me a taxi to the station causing me to miss my train.

Poor customer service - staff completely uninterested. A two night stay should not result in room keys not working after one night.
