Hi, we enjoyed our stay but the room wasn’t clean. There was a lot of hair on the floor through the room and bathroom and old food crumbs that were there when we arrived and weren’t cleaned when we had the room reset. It did make us wonder how clean the rest of the room was when we saw that. We hope that feed back helps. Many thanks, Meagan Frewin
