Room was dirty- floor/carpet was obviously not vaccummed (nail clippings all over one side of the bed on the floor), bathroom was eww. Paint & wallpaper peeling throughout. Picked this place because it had a pool and hot tub- which was unusable due to a coach bus fulll of kids and their drunken parents. Breakfast was awful, too.
