Liked: Cleanliness
The night we arrived we heard dripping from the boiler this got louder and when we investigated further a bowl had been placed behind a panel to catch the dripping water the bowl was now full and so we emptied it by 3.30 am the sound of loud dripping woke us up so once again we emptied the bowl and placed more receptacles to catch the water .we also observed water running across the wiring this was worrying so reported this at 8.00 am we received notification that this had been passed on to onsite staff who would get back to us .but as we were planning to go out we called into the hotel where a lovely member of staff came and took a photo of the problem and reported it .when we returned for our key she informed us that a gas safe engineer was needed and and would come later that day so we emptied the bowls several times again and through the night .we left on the Sunday still no engineer could not wait to get home for a rest
