Check in felt unwelcoming. Pool was not maintained at all. Had to go to front desk to ask for towels from the pool, was sent to the other pool which did not have towels either. Loose wiring for the speakers around the pool. The rooms were not well maintained, the sliding door had layers of I don’t even know what that made it almost impossible to see through and had a soggy/possibly mold smell. Overall it was an unpleasant stay.
