No one at reception, phone number on door didn't work. Waited half an hr., then finally found number on website. Reception mostly closed. Only 1 TV station available, tho Netflix advertised. Asked staff to fix twice - they were nice enough, but never got fixed. Grit or sand on kitchen area floor when we arrived, not swept in the 3 days we were there.
