The rooms were not cleaned well! Old dried out contacts were in the floor (so gross!), garbage never got taken out, house keeping did not enter our room once. The room was very hot. The entire hotel was extremely hot! We stay here once a year, and this was our worst experience. Will probably stay at one of the surrounding hotels next year!
