Even inside none smoking room, where the spray refresher but it didnt help! 4- I've made a complain about gents smoking indoor inside the restaurant, no one took any action. 5- pool was closed and this was not announced at expedia during booking. Hope they can work on the above points.

My stay was good . I think you should get new memory foam mattresses instead of the old one that is currently in my room, but I loved the shower and tub. I was disappointed that there was no microwave.
