the staff provided helpful information about getting into the city, including driving tips and parking details.
The pool looked a bit unclean plus it lacked depth, a disappointment, the bunk bed seemed unsafe because of the ladder placement. someone had even ripped out the cables to the lamp near the lower bunk. It was not fixed.
