"As we’re speaking to the check in crew they weren’t very knowledgeable about the layout of the rooms. There was dirty draws in the pullout couch & the sink had better water pressure than the shower as it only had good pressure for scolding hot water. the neighbor next door had beer cans all over the balcony & was screaming & hitting the walls yet front office didn’t help the situation or accommodate us. 1 child got hurt we asked for more towels & they demanded we give them back asap even if they had blood. Sliding doors are tuff to open, the pool has no shade, we placed a canopy in the fishing area to bbq & fish that was alright. tv don’t show anything, fridge froze our food. Just an alright but old needs a lot of work just like many other hotels in s.p.i still increasing their charges but not letting pll know of their issues."
