My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were very nice and clean when I arrived, but there was a funny smell lingering. On the bright side, the balconies facing the pool provided good circulation, thanks to the sliding glass doors. However, there weren't enough trash bins in the room, which was a bit inconvenient.
