Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
My experience was ruined by my travelling companion and when the cleaners entered my room they stole items such as a bottle of wine that I had paid a lot of money for. My slippers also went missing then the next day even though I asked them not to enter my room. They did. And then my slippers miraculously reappeared. I did not feel safe whilst I was there. Or comfortable.
