convenient towel close supermarket sugary cocktail pool cleanliness

The hotel's location impressed me. It was close to a supermarket, about a 5 to 10 minute walk away. Free towel hire was available. I received tickets at check-in and could exchange towels as needed.. This was quite convenient.

I noticed some issues with cleanliness in the communal areas. The pool area did not seem regularly cleaned, and spilled drinks remained on the tiles for several days. The drink selection at the pool bars was also not ideal. Cocktails tasted sugary and not freshly made.
