The food tasted good, I thought. The staff were helpful at all times. The heated swimming pool was fantastic, I found.
The room's air conditioning didn't work at night. This situation made it difficult to sleep because of extreme heat. The only compensation given was a small amount, which did not meet service standards.

The noise was a problem. i could hear everything from the street below, even with the windows closed. also, the shower was temperamental. It kept switching between hot and cold on its own. it was very annoying.
