Hotel was fine. Only one bath towel in the room. Shower had very little water pressure, more like a light rain. Long hair in the shower. No extra toilet paper. No general hotel instructions provided. Check-in and check-out were efficient. Staff was friendly-especially the waitress, Carla, in the breakfast cafe. Food was very good.
