Mediocre Hotel Experience

This is a very basic, no thrills hotel. The rooms are mediocre, as is the service. I stayed 4 nights and not once did room service clean my room. There is a 24-hour free coffee/tea machine in the lobby, which I did enjoy using.

2/10 Poor

Pool was down due to kids putting Easter eggs and breaking it, but it was not updated on the website, which kids look forward too. The terrace you couldn’t get too because of the pool closure. The best part was the restaurant and the staff in the restaurant.
