It probably would have been better but at some point they constructed a enclosure for their pool. So if you open the window shades you have your own private pool show and vice versa. Very goofy and awkward. And the enclosure made the room humid from the pool and you could smell the chlorine. Maybe other rooms are different but was not a fan
