The staff was absolutely amazing! The problems with the room were TERRIBLE! The aerator on the sink sprayed water everywhere, the drain on the sink leaked, and the water was so hot it literally burned the flesh off of one of my friends hands! I wish I could upload pictures of his hand.

The room was nothing like the pictures. There was no furniture in the room. The layout of the room was really inconvenient and uncomfortable. The bed faced the opposite direction of anything in the room. Unless you we re standing there was no way to watch the tv. The jets in the jacuzzi had zero pressure making it nothing more than a bathtub. The bathroom door knob was broken, the plug to the bath was broken. The bed was the absolute worst bed iv ever slept in. No spap, room was never cleaned, and the coffee and sugar packets were moldy.
