When I arrived I was notified the pool and hot tub were not working. In the room, the Tv didnt work. No one ever came to fix it. The mattress was hard and full of decompressed areas. Pillows were hard and very lumpy. I was told they were all the same. Checkin staff had no interest in the problem. Loud music in the middle of the night.

The check in person was super sweet. The room itself could definitely use some better cleaning. There was smashed bugs on the wall and I had to keep wiping down the sink area because a bunch of ants kept coming. The walls a were dirty and there was a … white stain … on the bed. Since it was a king size, I slept on the other side of the bed.
