What I didn’t like about this room was that the restroom was dirty the toilet seat had pee on it… The window near the restroom had no screen and had a pole in the window for “security”… And not to mention, we spent like 15 Trying to look for the remote control for the TV there wasn’t one. We had to call front desk to bring us a remote and he spent 30 minutes in the room programming it… The mattress had a huge dent on one side in the top and the mattress was super thin and not to mention the thin pillows as well. I am not exaggerating… I did enjoy the pool The pool was clean… But the area around the outside had chairs everywhere that had been tipped over and there was actually two chairs inside of the pool at the bottom of the pool… And at night maybe like at 3 AM we heard arguing outside of our room… I could only appreciate that I was not sleeping on the street… I would probably not come back here and I would not recommend. I really wish I could’ve enjoyed myself better
