i loved the gym! it had all the equipment i needed for a good workout. the location was awesome as it was so close to both the beach and the city center. this made it super easy to explore and have fun!

plenty of towels excellent price unrenovated side bathroom door

The room had plenty of towels and tea, coffee, and milk were provided. The room was also clean. The price was excellent.

I was not given the room I booked. It was on the top floor and looked unrenovated. Closing the bathroom door was impossible without using an iron to keep it shut.
