Positive: - Breakfast - View Negative - You need a car to go for breakfast, there are no stairs - Due to wild fires in the area everything is black and smells bad - Too many wasps - The locker in the room was not working - The hair dryer was missing from the room and we had to ask for one - The cleaning service was poor despite leaving a tip for the cleaning personnel - One of the towels was dirty - The facilities are very old, not a 5 star hotel, maybe 20 years ago, but not anymore - The pool has the same depth, ok for kids boring for adults - We had dinner once, even the pizza was bad. Asked for two Corona beers, had available only one, so we had to switch to another beer - The cleaning personnel after cleaning the room left the door open despite not having a locker - There is no window screen to keep insects outside of the room
