Good & clean, but very basic. First hotel I’ve stayed in in a long time that still has the tiny bottles of shampoo instead of pump bottles mounted in the shower, which seems quite a bit behind the times. No conditioner or moisturizer provided. Breakfast was a little too institutional.

Be aware

We were staying on the third floor in the middle of the building, and the balcony overlooked the inside pool. So we weren't able to sleep in peace until 11 p.m. The elevator got stuck twice on different floors (2 and 3), so when it finally opened, we got off and used the stairs the rest of the time. At that time (8:30 p.m.), we went to reception to report the problem, and a sign said we'd be back shortly.
