Arrived at check in time and room was not ready. Was set down about 10 minutes later to find them hastily finishing it. Bathroom had only one light working, no heating and was very cold. You could See they cleaned the room in a rush as it wasn’t as expected. Very poor lighting at night time trying to get to the car park, quite unsafe
