Stay would have been perfect had the housekeeping person for our room been more aware of the mattress on the bed. Obviously tried to do good by flipping the mattress but failed to realize that’s not possible for all bedding. This one should have been ROTATED. Worse night’s sleep ever. Informed manager. Hope housekeeper is educated about mattress
