BRING YOUR OWN SHEETS!!! We ended up having to go to Walmart and purchase cheap sheets. The sheets were extremely disgusting. We knew we weren't staying at the Ritz Carlton, but this was HORRID. When I went to the front to ask for sheets, the lady told me they didn't have any extra on the property. SHE GAVE ME TOWELS TO LAY ON! lol Don't stay here...just don't! Smells, and it's very apparent they do not clean.
