I stayed in two separate rooms and they both smelled musty and dank. The rooms could have been cleaner. It felt as if whiever owns it , does the bare minimum because they know it's afforable and they have a captive audience for the location. Also, the faucets leak unless you basically tighten it to the point you can't turn it back on. Disappointing they have neglected the property.

Shower slippery

We got an accessible bathroom, but in the bathtub the floor in the tub was very slippery and the material they put down for anti-slip was totally inadequate. No.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff were nice but they complained about being short staffed not being able to clean rooms. The room needs updating. The refrigerator hummed high pitch all night. The wall next to our heads vibrated and made noise all day and night not sure if it was the laundry or pool pump. Wall air conditioning 3 inches from bed so that person in that bed has to freeze in order to cool the room. The fire alarm went off only on our room terrified my grandson super loud and it also says fire! They had to come and replace the fire alarm and fix the thermostat in our room. No one even apologized for us being traumatized On positive side the pool was warm and the breakfast was decent
