The maintenance in the room was poor. The king bed bases had separated causing a dip in the mattress, the toilet seat was broken putting it on a sharp lean, house keeping came in and made a bed that was dirty from room service and they just made the bed leaving the dirty sheets on it and the towel we had put down just got made into the bed. The freezer door in the fridge also didn't seal properly which meant the fridge froze all our drinks. Overall very run down and not as appealing as the photos made it look.
