Only had one light. Lamp not plugged in due to no outlets. Also no accessible for having to plug in devices or sleep aids. Toilet seat was cracked. Floors dingy and dirty. Sheets dingy. Way overpriced for room and amenities. Pool looked nice. Reminded me of a cheap roach/budget motel room. Definitely not “resort/palace” worthy. Save your money and do an Air B and B. Also have a “NO REFUND” sign so as soon as your checked in your out of your money.
