Quite an oppressive room with colour scheme and materials used more in line with a hotel where you would rent the room by the hour with its gold settee and dark material padded walls couldn’t open windows and very dirty, was quite warm when we there and Bonaire con/ fan although admittedly I didn’t ask for one - no spoons in the room for drinks and not enough milk/ coffee etc I know only small things but all add up - on the plus the beds very clean and comfy - bathroom nice and clean to and communal areas all very welcoming along with a lift - so I guess to sum it up you get what you pay for
