The blankets had cigarette burns, I asked for a nonsmoking room and it reeked like cigarettes and they spray something to try to mask it. The microwave and mini fridge was Very convenient though. In my room you had to slam the door just for it to lock and the safety lock was broken.

the Jacuzzi needs a nice deep clean. The button had scum on it, and it's a little.. stained.. you need that Clorox spa stain&scale control and a good bristle brush to get that off. But, other than that the housekeeping was phenomenal, the price was great and the bed/room was so comfy and clean. Big beautiful TV and convenient charging ports.
