wow! what a place!

shuttle serviceheated pooldamp smell
The shuttle service from the airport was super convenient, it runs often. i really liked the heated pool and the sauna, a total plus after my flight. the restaurant staff was good and super helpful. I got great service. the in-house bar was awesome. I loved having a drink there!
the first room had this weird damp smell, i think it was room 111. i told the receptionist, then they gave me room 215. it was better cause the sunny side was nice, but i think the old room needs work.

The hotel shuttle was a useful service and the staff accommodated guests.
The room I had faced a massive grey roof, it was not the garden view I expected. The room seemed like a disability room. The bed was also much smaller than I anticipated. It made the stay disappointing
