Liked: Amenities
Dirty furniture in rooms, trashy hallways. Cleaning service very slow ask to just have trash emptied and fresh towels and she was right next door four hours later we come back and she is just getting to our room so we have to waste time on 1 for her to finish before we could re dress and leave again.
