The under the sea suite I booked was nice, but the air filters for the heat and air were clogged and I ended up cleaning them out and the fish tank was extremely dirty both inside and out, the outside tank needed to be washed and the inside had a lot of fish poop in it, there were some lights out in the room also and the ceiling tiles in the hall looked like they had water damage, and we couldn’t get an signal on the WiFi for the room but we stayed only 2 nights, the room was nice otherwise and had a nice view to the woods behind it.
