underwhelming stay

sauna accessempty dispenserunmuted tv
the pool and sauna access were available.
the room i got was disappointing. the dispenser for the shower gel was empty when i got there. the tv didn't work either.. i muted it by mistake and then i couldn't unmute it. eventually someone came and reset the breaker for the whole room, but he left the panel open, a small detail but it felt unrefined.
