Single ply toilet paper; no washcloths or tissue; no streaming tv; badly designed shape of room, angles made no sense and offered no privacy between bed and bathroom. Gym was not air conditioned and they charged for extra water in the room. Staff was helpful at the front desk.

Good hotel overall, pool is nice. My room in particular was very small and you couldn’t walk around the bed, which felt harsh for the high price. People were lovely, breakfast was underwhelming, so skip that and go into town.

This is a fun hotel. A little 2020 “woke” in the branding but it’s in on the joke I think. “Heterofriendly” had me laughing as I’ve always thought, oh wow, hotel, thanks for being “gay-friendly”. In terms of amenities and spacious rooms it’s hard to beat in this old town.
