The fridge in the room we stayed in does not work properly, I even saw a tiny cockroach inside the fridge. The tv unit was dusty. The check in time was at 2pm but we were able to check in at 2:30. The pool was probably the highlight of our stay, that's it.

The room would be ok for 1 night. I spent 5 nights there and that was 4 too many really. The room is ok but other than sitting on the bed there was only an uncomfortable plastic chair.
The doors seem to be paper thin and did nothing to quieten every noise from the passage way.
Pool is lovely and certainly the star of the show here.
