The only complaint we have is the set up for the light switches. Why not just use normal light switches… Would make it much simpler and easier.

Room was spacious and clean. Pool was quite green and cloudy so we did not use it. Would have loved to have had a space to put toiletries in the shower as well as a place to rest my foot for shaving. There were 3 plates sitting on a table outside the elevator that were there when we checked in and still there when we check out 2 days later.
