6/10 Good

The property itself is very pleasant, with a garden and a restaurant by the pool that make the atmosphere very peaceful. The rooms, however, are quite old and in my opinion would benefit from some renovation. Unfortunately, my room also had a very strong smell, which I believe was coming from the carpet. The odor even got into my clothes, which was really unpleasant.
