modern hotel helpful staff opening windows

i really liked this modern hotel, it sits in a quiet area not so far from the center! the staff were very helpful, they checked me in earlier and upgraded my room to a better one. the rooms were nice and big with windows that open, which i liked a lot! i caught the ten minute light show about portugal every evening, i saw it from the backyard.

the pool looked a bit unfiltered and silty.
