This place tries to pass off as charming. the rooms are tired. toiletries looked like they were rationed, and i nearly had a dry spell on my last day because the water decided to take a vacation. i suspect i caught a stomach bug. also, the changing room near the pool smelled terrible, like a swamp decided to set up shop.
