Sammantaget var upplevelsen inte särskilt positiv
Pros:

Utsikten från rummet som är mot extra kostnad

Cons:

Slitet hotel med oengagerad och inte särkilt serviceinriktad personal.
Hotellet tillhandahåller inte handdukar till poolen. Hotellet känns inte särskilt prisvärt i förhållande till vad man får för pengar.
