Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The slats on the windows do let light in. The rain against the balcony door allowed water to seep in and make the carpet wet. The bath tub was ok, the pull to enable the shower did not allow you to fully pull it up. Staff was friendly and we would probably stay again
