They advertise a pool area, but the gate was locked, apparently for the winter; can’t use the tables and chairs to relax outside. Also, we paid in advance for a 5-day stay, and the manager hounded us every morning to leave my room by 11 so that the maid could clean, even when there was nothing to clean. It made no sense and it was super inconvenient.
