Cleaning staff seemed miffed when you asked if they were possibly going to clean our room .. it was 4:00 in the afternoon and this was after they didn’t clean room the prior day. I didn’t do anything about it because it was midnight when we returned to hotel so there we were, making our own bed and trying to sort out which towels were cleanest to re-use .. not good.
