mixed experience, some positives, but several issues

kind staffpoor cleaningmissing towels
the staff were kind with smiles on their faces (which i always appreciate).
The hotel cleaning was quite poor. our room was not cleaned properly twice. sometimes we were missing towels. One day, the trash was on the toilet seat, and no towels were left. It's strange.
