Average Stay with Issues

free shuttleloose faucetstrange odor
The free shuttle service to Fira was decent enough. It was helpful for getting around even if the location wasn't ideal.
The bathroom was quite disappointing. The faucet was loose and the shower drained poorly. The air conditioner leaked water and did not cool the room effectively. There was also a strange odor in the room and throughout the hotel.
