One of the most disappointing hotel stays, completely misleading and utterly unacceptable.
Pros:

Room looked exactly like the pictures.
Very clean and organized.
Beautiful view from the room.

Cons:

• Two TVs — neither a Smart TV.
• Both TVs outdated, with fuzzy picture quality.
• No TV box or streaming option.
• A sofa that was the very reason I selected the room, but virtually no usable entertainment to enjoy from it.
• A bed so hard it felt like sleeping on a board.
• A bathroom extraction fan that couldn't be switched off in the room and its constant humming made sleeping peacefully difficult.

These aren't little inconveniences that a guest should simply shrug off. These are basic comfort and functionality issues that the hotel should have addressed before selling the room to guests.

What makes this particularly frustrating is that I deliberately selected this room based on its advertised features. Had I known beforehand that the TVs were essentially obsolete, that there was no streaming facility, that the bed was extraordinarily hard and that I would have to sleep with a permanently running extraction fan humming in the background, I would never have booked here.

A hotel doesn't get credit simply for putting two televisions in a room if neither one provides a decent viewing experience. And guests shouldn't have to sacrifice a good night's sleep because management hasn't figured out how to switch off a bathroom fan.

This room was nowhere near the standard I expected, and the gap between what was advertised and what was actually provided is extremely disappointing.

Management seriously needs to reconsider the condition and functionality of the amenities in this room. Outdated equipment, an uncomfortable bed and an uncontrollable noise source are not what guests should be paying for when they book a supposedly comfortable hotel room.

Very disappointing. I would not book this hotel again, and based on this experience, I would think twice before recommending the hotel to anyone who values comfort, peace and basic modern amenities.
