"It is the off season so, the restaurant was not open. Fortunately I phoned so I knew where to find the office. Both faucets delivered only hot water. Fortunately there was an ice cube tray where I made cubes to make the water cold. Room quite small, however clean. The face clothes were new. They should be prewashed as the colour bled."
