Room was clean overall, and the pool area wa great. Minor issues included some hair in the shower wall that was not ours, the toilet was running all during the stay, and refrigerator was vibrating loudly on and off. We had a first floor room was very warm even though we had the heat down to 62 - to the point where we turned the air conditioning on in January :/ Overall budget friendly and good value, just some maintenance things that could be addressed!
