    "The towels had stains. The toilet was difficult to flush. When we asked a male receptionist if the room could be tidied he told us to leave our keys at the front desk and he would inform the cleaner, but he never did that. I had to take out my own trash and ask for a change of towels. There were toiletries enough for 1 person, not multiple if sharing a room. The only helpful persons were the female receptionist and her son. She tried to be accommodating and helpful and sort out problems. ..."
