Breakfast is good, dining is great, pool is great, location is decent, but the hotel looks dated, the bathroom needs good scrubbing, and bedsheets could use more attention or replacement. My room had a non-stop noise I eventually learnt to tolerate, it’d seem that some powerful engine was locked up in the sealed half of the wardrobe. This was the second room I changed to. My bed gave me intense body aches, and it was on my last night that I eventually got a lady to put a cushion over the bed.
