Hi Steven this is disappointing review and we wish you had reached out to us. The guidebook was unfortunately having an update but has been fixed now, (was out of our control and we were not notified) . We hadn’t received any messages during your stay either other than potential lost property that you had located. We are also surprised as you mentioned you wanted to rebook in February. ?
