Bathroom shower was broken and no instructions on how to use the microwave convention oven. Also smoked alarm went off on Friday. There was no communication or OH&S to guide or communicate to guests. Only warning message over speaker. As guest we needed to enquire where to go or what was happening. On investigation told it was false due to a system error.

Was a nice room, could have been cleaner. Customer service was lacking and staff not willing to talk and would rather text then verbally communicate.
