Tv in room did not work, shower was barely a dribble, no hairdryer in room, did ask about one but they said no, beds were terrible, broken springs, very thin, see through curtains which are no use in summer, too light to sleep. Nobody there when we checked out so had to leave key on a table. However, the room itself was clean, the fan was very welcome as room was so hot, the water was a nice touch, but would not recommend staying there
