I stayed at this property many years ago and it was very clean and well kept, perfect really. I booked it for a night recently and waa excited to see what i remembered from my previous stay. I was very disappointed. The tube dripped very badly and the bathroom sink did not drain. There were crumbs of food in the pull out sofa bed and no linens for it. Linens were brought when we requested. The elevators were very dirty, especially the windows. I remember the last time i stayed that was one of the highlights, the glass elevators oveelooking the pool. Bathrooms were veey dirty.
