Very clean. Room cold until night. Doors and furniture a bit tired. Bathroom and shower were good. I cant believe the bar or restaurant had no cream to make liquor coffees! Breakfast good - one boiled egg like hard boiled..very hard boiled. Staff very young but corteous. Did very well. Overall a good stay
