Bed and pillows extremely uncomfortable, no ice in the freezer,'The first thing you want on a vacation is a nice cool drink.Incredibly noisy cars out front on Hwy non stop.Could not open the balcony door for even a minute as cigarette smoke would pour in from surrounding rooms. On the bright side Staff incredibly friendly and very helpful.
