Defo won’t be back again

To arrive on the hottest day of 31 degrees and to arrive to our room with no air conditioning was a massive disappointment. Granted we was given a fan but it was the most nosiest fan so bad that my son who struggles with noise was unable to sleep with it in. And with it off it was extremely hot. Not what you expect when you pay £200 to stay for one night !!!!
