The air conditioner didn't work. The electric outlet closest to the bed only had one working space. The bedside tables need to be higher. I use a c-pap and the machine has to be as high or higher than the bed. The tables were lower so I had to use a couple of books to raise the machine. I didn't see any recycle bins.

Everything was good for a one night stay except, there was no hand soap, only shampoo and conditioner. The pool is separate from the building, which is fine. No time to swim this trip. Staff was really fast and nice.
