room needs to be up dated and when you clean the rooms or service they never replace milk or shower cap, had to ask another staff member to replace milk. She was only to happy to help me so thank god for that. The bubbles in the spa pools did go so disappoint in that. Was happy they changed our room close to friends who stayed there as well it was my 50 th party regards George
