Please, clean your pool!

I loved the hotel, clean and nice, great staff, great amenities. Swimming pool wasn’t clean when I came for a swim in the morning. In fact it was gross, something floating in water. Also, the hotel opens pool to the public (not only hotel visitors), so when I came in at 6am for the opening time, it was full.
