Negative Reviews
negative:
Noisy Matters
With an apparently ongoing refurbishment, some areas are still being renovated. You may hear some noise and smell some fumes from paint or other substances while this takes place. In addition, some of the pools are open twenty-four hours; this is fun, except when your room is beside one. Plenty of nighttime noise and staff can't intervene no matter what time of night it may be.
negative:
Room Issues
If you're unlucky enough to get stuck with a room not yet renovated, you may have issues. Electrical outlets are in poor condition, allowing plugs to fall out of them easily. Televisions get poor channel reception. Dishwashers and other amenities may not work. Air conditioners leak, paint is peeling and carpeting is musty. Some have even observed cockroaches in rooms.
negative:
All Sorts of Extra Fees
Keep track of the additional fees, which include room cleaning fees (although your room may not be cleaned until after you check out), pool and park fees.
