When first arriving, the tub was dirty and there was hair in the sheets. I had to request to get the bathroom cleaned and new linen which they complained about. I had to hunt housecleaning down to get new rags and towels. We stayed for 7 days. I gave them all of our dirty ones and they only gave us 3 large towels. No face rags, nothing. The microwave kept locking when we tried to use it. It would not open to release our food. They also ran a test for the alarm system at 8 in the morning, which is fine. However, they didn’t give us no warning. Didn’t tell us it was a test. That went on for 30 minutes.
