Directions to our room by both staff and wall markings were misleading at best. Had to carry our luggage up a flight of stairs..no elevator in that area. Found that out upon arrival. Sliding door to balcony in room required my husband to open. Mowing at 8:30 am outside our room. We are on vacation! The positive? Great water pressure in shower. Overall, very outdated hotel we would not stay at again.
