A bit disappointed about the "deluxe" room, quite small and simple, the bathroom had a old bathtub as a shower, a bit old fashioned. The hotel was quite and we enjoyed the heated pool. At the arrival the staff was not very friendly but after we could sort out a wrong booking, at the end very helpful.
