I do not know why they don’t have a basic microwave in every room! Also the water pressure in our room was horrible i froze in the shower! No chairs on Wednesday for the pool but i guess they have senior citizen day! I won’t stay here again! Also you must pay for the 35 valet parking! I hate places ...
