− I booked this room on 3 June for my birthday stay on 4 June. I chose it because the photos showed a nice bathroom with a bathtub. The receptionist told me she changed my room because she saw two names on the booking and thought two business workers would be staying. She gave me Room 14 instead. When I entered the room, I was very disappointed. It was an accessible room with only a shower and toilet in the same area, not the room I had booked. I was also told the hotel has no rooms with bathtubs, so I don't understand why bathtubs are shown in the photos. Overall, it was a disappointing birthday stay.
