Don’t go there!

They’re pro BS regarding housekeeping. I asked 3 time to have my room cleaned without any success. I really don’t recommend that place. Location is nice the issue is the service personnel. When they finally did my room few day before I leave they left me only hand Towel to dry myself after a shower… see picture.
