the pool was available and seemed well-kept to use.
The room i booked wasn't as clean as i expected. I saw some stains on the carpet near the bed. also, the breakfast area was quite crowded each morning, so finding a clean table was a challenge. The staff seemed overwhelmed and slow to clear away used dishes.
