Satisfactory stay near main attractions
convenient location comfortable room helpful staff thin curtain small wardrobe inconvenient shower
The hotel is near most main tourist attractions. Restaurants and a supermarket are also close. The room was comfortable. Staff were helpful and accommodating.
The bedroom curtains did not cover the windows SO THE room filled with sunlight. A very small free standing wardrobe was available SO half of the clothes had to be dealt with from within the suitcase. The shower was located inside the jacuzzi so i had to climb over the walls of the jacuzzi.
