"The room was clean, but the bathroom was not. The room was not cleaned during the week except once on request. Hence, the bathroom had an unpleasant odor. The shower door could not be closed. The whole building needs an uplift. Looks old, and not as attractive as the other hotels. Pool was good and clean. Staff were very obliging and helpful. Nothing was too hard for them."
