"Nice hotel"

6.0

I choose sleeping bears as it was very close to the party I was attending so picked for location

I was on a single room on top floor with no lift we were in The middle of a heat wave but that couldn’t be helped! Only issue was lamp wasn’t working told the receptionist next day as desk is only manned from 10am til 6pm. I was advised I should have had both light switches on the wall down(opposite the lamp side of wall) in order for the lamp to work, I think a note on laminate paper in the room could have helped that situation. Also no WiFi code in the room I’m from the UK so had unlimited data but noticed the next day the code was featured downstairs again something in the room would have been handy for overseas guests or anyone that needs WiFi
