We were dissatisfied with our room. The blinds were broken, and we could not block out any light at night. Also the shower door inside handle was missing making it very hard to shut the door when showering. Lucky I'm tall enough to reach over the top. The outlets on the nightstands were very lose and worn out. It made it very hard to charge any electronic device. Room needs to be updated.

The property was decent, however upon check and we were shuffled to another area to get our parking pass, and we're talked into taking a tour the next day we were promised.It was sixty minutes, ended up being over two hours long. After the tour, we declined to purchase a timeshare. After that, the salesperson and her boss, we're extremely disrespectful and rude because we would not purchase a timeshare. I have never been talked to or treated like that. By anyone, especially in front of my children
