the room had air conditioning, and it was very effective. the bathroom was a great size and featured a fantastic shower. breakfast was also excellent, with a continental buffet offering a great choice of hot food.
The room interior felt quite dark, even during the day. i noticed many cobwebs inside the building. The windows needed cleaning. i also found tables in the restaurant area to be sticky. The tables with grooved tops had debris in the gaps.
