You had to walk a distance to the hot pool. There wasn't any spare blankets, the table was wobbly & couldn't use it for eating purposes. No other place to sit down orher than the bed. The bathroom was great, nice tub & spacious, plenty of towels. No toilet paper holder. Tv service was so, so. Only could watch a few channels other than pay per view.

The room I booked was not the room I was given to. The advertising showed something and the one I was given was the wrong one. When talked to Jenny the manager she was not willing to work with me. So I refused to stay.
