“The rooms were not thoroughly cleaned after we requested housekeeping, and my children’s rooms were not cleaned at all. All used towels were left in the room
Our room was spotless, the staff very helpful and friendly, especially those serving breakfast, which was very tasty and included perfect poached eggs!
