We loved the pool and hot tub area bit the floor is soooo slippery that we watched two kods fall. Our room #128 the door didnt seal all the way. You could see inside the room from the hall. And the door metal at the bottom was bent out so when you openned the door it cut your toes. And lastely, the tub didnt hold water for baths and sprayed out of the tub when showering.
