There was a pool with pictures advertised but the pool was closed and appeared to have been for a very long time. There are NO ammenities for the shower. There is NO blowdryer in the rooms or that you can borrow from the front desk. When turning the shower on, the whole thing felt like you had to be careful with it. But the shower was hot! The beds were ok, a tad hard for my liking, I woke a few times and my hips hurt from that. There were 2 pillows per bed (2 queen) and they were certainly lumpy, but I was able to manipulate one enough to get a good placement of my head. Looking out my window, I saw some window screens laying in places in the "courtyard". The front desk check in was easy and she was very pleasant, same for the checkout. Very very friendly.
