Acceptable experience

canal view beautiful view terrace with table terrace excellent team friendly team early check-in check-in poor condition room condition dated decor shabby decor
The team gave me a beautiful canal view room. I quickly asked if there was any chance I could move to a terrace with a table and chairs. I dropped lucky and would highly recommend these rooms. The welcome from the team was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble.
I booked and paid for early check-in at 12:30pm, only to be told my room was not ready. I was then moved to an alternative room, in a very poor condition. The bed covers looked like they had mould on them. The throw was stained.
