The chairs in the living room are worn and all the leather is peeling off. The living room fire place didn’t work. The bathrooms constantly smelt of urine from the minute we checked in and the pool water was green and reeked of chlorine (make your eyes burn) For the price of the rooms other selections will be made next time.
