We stayed in a standard king room. The room was did not look like the photos on Expedia. The bathroom was dirty - hair on the sink and counter top and toothpaste on the countertop. There was one standing lamp and 2 bedside lamps and only one bedside lamp worked. The bed was extremely uncomfortable - felt the springs all night. The pillows were flat. Our neighbor was extremely loud - was knocking on the door and yelling at 2-3am. The only plus was the location, only 1 block from heavenly village.

The pictures do not resemble the rooms at all. Our room was outdated and dirty. Asked to switch rooms and they “upgraded” us to just as dirty of a room. The guy who checked us in understood and apologized and agreed the pictures do not show their actual rooms. We ended up getting a different hotel at another location and have to dispute our refund with Expedia. Save yourself time and stay elsewhere.
