Our room smelled like strong cleaning chemicals, we had to air out the room. The people next to our room were very loud and we could still hear them even with the doors shut. The pool and hottub was nice, overall it was an okay stay.

The sink bowl was broken and re-glued. It was sloppily done. We had a kitchenette but there was absolutely nothing there, no pots no glasses, etc. We also never got room service. The only seating in the room were too of those cheap rollong desk chairs. In all fairness it is cheaper than other places in town. I hope they will take the comments constructively and make some changes.
