With as new as the hotel is, I expected it to be in better shape. The overall cleanliness of the hotel was underwhelming.

Check in was easy and the lady was super friendly. Our first room the ac wasn’t working , dirty band aid on floor and just not clean. They changed our room. Second room felt better and was tidier. The pool looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in awhile.
