The staff are very nice upfront and at the restaurant. We have stayed here 3 other times. This time we stayed at another side of the hotel. The room was heavily outdated. I understand they are slowly renovating but we had NO water pressure to shower. The bathroom was heavily outdated and showed dirt. For the price we paid it should be much better.
