Overall, the stay was okay. However, I had to go to the front desk several times about housekeeping. I requested daily housekeeping at check in but after about 4 days of no housekeeping had to go to the front desk to request that my trash and towels be changed. The sign in the bathroom says housekeeping every other day, so I was surprised that I went that long without housekeeping. Even when housekeeping did come, there were several times that the bed was not made.
