Some felt the rooms were small for the prices paid, and the layout was not ideal for others. In-room temperature control has been iffy at best, causing some guests to wake up sweating or freezing more than once. Lighting, especially in the bathroom, is uncomfortably dim. Some complained of stained carpeting, worn furniture, ripped curtains and spots on the bathrobes. The feather pillows provided are not everyone's favorite, either.
Some experienced noise disturbances from the restaurants below, and others were distraught from being placed in a room above the pool, which echoed with loud voices throughout the evening. Others were awakened by housekeeping even though they placed the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, while others heard every door slam on their floor as people went in and out.
