mixed feelings about service

room cleaningimpersonal system
I was frustrated that they didn't clean the room for four nights. i also had to fill in forms about my breakfast desires. There was nothing on display to take. this system made me put my dirty towels in a bag in the hallway along with the forms and old milk in a plastic tub. it felt impersonal.

Breakfast included several choices and was quite good. The room overlooked the pool, nice, though I didn't use it. Staff were helpful when I inadvertently spilled tea. They helped me immediately. I appreciated their prompt attention, and I didn't get a blister.
The dinner menu had limited options.
