very noisy, the window are not closing properly, ants were coming in and you can hear cars coming by like the window was opened. very drab looking, needs a update. Very difficult to get your luggage in room because there's stairs to elevator. They charge you a resort fee when you check in, not much included with this fee, there's a very small pool and you get a free drink. but not worth the fee. There's no place to store luggage if you arrive early or leave late. They just leave luggage in their lobby area which is as large as a small room. So anybody can come and take it.
