"Clean room and bathroom but walls & cabinets looked a little worn. Liked the ceiling fan, A/C & big TV. Comfy beds & pillows. Black out curtains worked. Very noisy room. People above us had kids and they were stomping, jumping, wrestling for 2 hours in the PM and were up doing it again at 6:00am. I complained to the front desk but nothing changed. I finally pounded on the roof and they stopped at 6:01am for about 2 more hours of sleep. All 4 treadmills in the gym not working. Handrail to enter pool not attached to deck."
