The hotel is reasonably decent, in terms of furnishings and cleanliness. HOWEVER, a couple of dozen rooms face a harshly and brightly lit indoor pool, giving you no view of the outside (that is, you have no idea whether it's day or night, sunny or raining, when you draw back your curtains). And you won't be drawing back your curtains at all, unless you want to share your private space with everyone who's at the pool. Further, the lights to the pool switch on at 6 am and turn off at 11 pm.
They don't tell you that you've got such a room when you check in, nor ask you if you would be happy with such a room.
I was tempted to ask to change rooms after the first night (Friday), but figured that I would just ride with it, since I was only staying one more night. I should have demanded a switch .... the pool hours 6am-11pm are 7 days/week. What that meant for me is that I was awakened at 6:15 am on SUNDAY MORNING by kids jumping around and yelling in the pool. And the hotel could do nothing about it, since they open the pool at 6am on Sunday. Needless to say, it was be most unpleasant and unrestful stay that I've ever had, anywhere.
To top it off, when I checked out, the desk clerk didn't even bother to ask whether I had a good stay (something else that normally happens at every hotel I've ever stayed at).
Won't be going back there, obviously.
If you do go, don't let them give you a room facing the pool, if you have any desire to sleep.
