It gets the job done, we just needed somewhere to sleep but the rooms are filthy. When we asked for someone to come clean our room on the second night of our stay, it was definitely a half assed cleaning job. When we first showed up to the room the first day, there were old fake eyelashes on our bathroom counter, so clearly they didn’t wipe it down. Makes me wonder what else they didn’t actually clean. If you walk around the room barefoot for even just a short couple minutes, your feet will get extremely dirty. Next year we will stay at either the Aquarius or Riverside.
