Wonderful Stay!

rooftop poolhelpful staffroom temperature
The location was GREAT and close to many attractions. The rooftop pool had a beautiful view and was perfect. The staff was VERY helpful from the minute we arrived until our departure!!!
The air conditioning was centrally turned off. When I arrived, the room temperature was around 25°C. There was nothing they could do. I had to keep the window open all night, but it was noisy.
