Our key wouldn't work, we were on the second floor had to go up and down stairs 3 times and the guy finally came and unlocked the door himself, the tv was tiny, the bathtub felt like it was going to fall through the floor and it was not very clean. The swimming pool was open but filthy..... All in all, I will not be staying there again

The spread and sheets had holes in them. The towels were terrible. Several lights in the room didn’t work, the walls in the bathroom were nasty and the couch had stains and holes. I pray we didn’t get bed bugs. On Fridaynight the people below us starting cussing and fighting at 3:00 am to 6:00 am they started throwing things. Not a good experience!
