"Hotel stay for 2 nights , clean older hotel . The elevator though was grimy , could tell they donโ€™t mop or clean it inside. Room clean but only 2 towels for 4 people, just had to ask for towels. Nice pool area with plenty of chairs. Nice outside bar. Ate on patio outside the hotel restaurant - good food but not super busy and finally after 30 minutes had to flag down a waiter to take our order, even though they passed by us several times. Otherwise good price"
