mixed feelings about my stay

slow servicedirty pool
I found some issues . the restaurant service was slow and quite disappointing! i couldn't order any starters from the a la carte menu, which i found unacceptable for a hotel like this. also, the pool wasn't clean. There was a noticeable scum line that looked unhygienic.

I appreciated the room size. The swimming pool was a very good size. The restaurant had a good selection. The view of the surroundings was great.
I noticed cigarette butts outside on my balcony. It was almost impossible to get ice. It took three phone calls and two hours one night. My door would not close properly because the door was fractured.
