Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bedside tables and lamps were dusty. Corner of microwave door broken which did not instill confidence to use it. Site show pool on site, which was dirty and unkempt - definitely wouldn't swim in it. For $210 per night, I would expect far better.
