The condo needed some floor repairs. The floors were not level. The flooring in both bathrooms was coming up due to this, the hall bathroom toilet felt like you were leaning backwards. There was a huge bow in the floor of the hallway. It was not cleaned very well. There were fresh linens and towels but the floors were dirty when we arrived. The complex had a security guard who was a jerk. Every place I have ever stayed was fine with you sitting by the pool at night (even after 10:00 PM) as long as there was no horse playing or noise. This guard came in every night before 10 and creepily sat in his truck at the pool. At 10:00, he would get out of his truck and very rudely yell that the pool is closed. The lighting for the back parking lot and pool area was nonexistent. The complex as a whole did not looked to be keep up very well. I will not be staying in this complex ever again.
