The finishes within the room are low-end, which would have been sub-optimal when new. As the hotel has aged, blackout curtains with holes in them, furniture bolted to the floor with peeling laminate and pillows that are thinner than a folded sheet are no good. In addition, it is completely inscrutable that any property, anywhere on the planet, still attempts to force people to use their pay as you go mini-fridge. EVERYONE wants to use the fridge for themselves and NO ONE wants to buy whatever crap you put in it - especially since CVS is right downstairs.

For the price I paid, I was severely disappointed to have what looked like a children's birthday party taking place on the pool deck, with numerous children running unsupervised, in the hot tub, on the pool deck. This is not the atmosphere for a relaxing afternoon
