the room was spacious and clean, i really liked it. breakfast was ok with pre-defined options, it seems nearly the same every day. the staff was helpful when i asked them anything, they helped me when i needed.
the tv had lines across the screen, that was annoying. only local channels worked, i wanted more options. there wasn't any plugs next to the beds, i couldn't charge my phone there. the shower head looks cheap and the silver plastic is peeling.
