limited tea bagssauna temperature

i encountered a few issues that detracted from the experience. the road to the hotel was closed on arrival, and i was instructed to move the barriers myself. i found only three tea bags in the room , and this felt insufficient. breakfast staff seemed unhappy , and the finish sauna was only 50 degrees, far below the expected 70-80 degrees.
