With the money you pay, don't expect it to go towards maintenance of the hotel (don't look up), nor towards a hot water system. The showers and taps were lukewark at best but even then cut out into full cold randomly. Also, should you want your room serviced be prepared to ask 3 times and still have to wait until 4pm.
