It’s fine but no more, no worse
"The hotel is fine. The WiFi didn’t work. I asked for an extra towel and robe as only one was provided in the room. They never arrived. I wasn’t allowed to use the pool because the pool cleaner was doing his thing. Other than that I’d say the hotel was fine. Nice bed, decent shower."
