"Room and grounds were clean. However the TV remote in the bedroom was missing, the overhead light in the bathroom didn't work, and both the shampoo and bath gel was empty. I did inform them when we checked out. Also we do understand this is a Timeshare but we don't appreciate the sales pressure to go listen to a sales pitch."
