friendly staffnoisy water systemdifficult shower
the staff seemed friendly enough during the day.
there was an extractor fan running under our room all night i could not sleep. i mentioned this the next day, but it was not turned off until i went to the bar at 11pm, really annoying. the bathroom had a loud water system. the shower was just a handheld attachment over the bath taps so it was not easy to use.
