The room had a great shower. The location suited me well since I arrived by bus and departed by train.
The pool area lacked enough sunbeds. the coffee-making setup was inconvenient, as the coffee maker, kettle, and supplies were crammed into a small space. It was not functional (this made it hard to prepare coffee quickly).
