poor ventilation fluctuating pressure
The room got uncomfortably warm. No air conditioning made sleeping difficult. i also had issues with the shower. The water pressure fluctuated a lot. this made it hard to get a consistent temperature, and it was a bit annoying, we loved the pool. but the view was amazing!
