Room is okay, we stayed 4 nights,on our 3rd night my husband ask the lady receptionist at around 11 am if she can inform the housekeeper to clean our room since we need towels, soap, trash bags We arrived at 10 pm and the room is still the same when we left in the morning, the male receptionist is so nice to bring some new towels and soap. Receptionist did not relay our message.
