Minor issues with the room amenities
Guests reported that some of the room amenities are either missing or broken. Among the complaints is that there were no towels in the bathroom, no batteries in the remote controls, and no curtains in the shower.
negative:
Pool and pool area are unimpressive
The pool looks a little dirty, with many fallen leaves. The two whirlpools have cold water. These are just some of the things that guests have observed. However, there are many other attractions and things to do in the area, aside from using the pool.
negative:
Problematic air conditioning system
Rooms could be humid, especially during summer, and faulty air conditioning systems don't help in cooling the rooms. If you noticed any problem with your room's ventilation, do not hesitate to report it to a maintenance staff for an inspection or repair.
