1-night trip

8/10 Good

I have stayed here several times and this was the first time where the room didn't appear to be sanitized properly. The desk area, desk chair and table were dusty and had pieces of hair scattered on them. The restroom was lacking a toilet paper roll refill. The room did not include the typical nook where the coffee maker and mini fridge are placed. The fridge was just against a wall with a coffee maker on top. The AC unit was loud. There were also loud floor fans in the hall as if they were airing out a wet area. The pool water was not clean and green so we couldn't swim in it as we had hoped.
