Bad smell from refinery

Noise all night
This is a lively resort and, therefore, a fair amount of noise makes its way into the rooms at night. Guests have complained that they were unable to sleep at night because of noise being made by others guests and that the walls are very thin at this property.

Needs an update
Everything at this resort needs an update, according to past guests, as it is very old and run down.
