I was a little concerned as soon as I walked in and there were people in the common area without masks, not being asked to put one on. I was more concerned when we followed the "strict" rules to visit the pool and there were several more than the allowed number of visitors, even though everyone had to check in at the front desk, and check out when done. We chose not to use those amenities for that reason, though we had chosen the hotel for that reason. We visited for breakfast in the morning to see a menu or ask about plastic silverware, and nobody was found near the restaurant area. The rooms were visibly dirty in some areas (rings on the tables, visible dust and smudges on the electronics.) We didn't have much of a choice at the last minute so we decided to just be careful and stay. Probably wouldn't again, though. I will say this - they seemed severely understaffed for being open to that many guests. I wouldn't hold our stay against the employees, most of it seemed like a staffing issue.
