No gym even though advertised on hotels.com

We were disappointed with the checkin process. Protea emailed the day before we travelled to see if we needed anything, and we said would be great if room could be available early so we can freshen up after a long flight. When we checked in there were no rooms available which so not a problem as check-in was at 3pm. We went back at 3:30pm and still no room for us, which was disappointing. What was worse though was the hotel being advertised with a gym and there wasn’t!! I always book hotels with a gym so this was misleading. The option was to pay and use the Virgin Active club in the town.
