mixed feelings about the stay

nice featuresrandom chipflaking paint
the spa facilities seemed decent. it had some nice features.
My room was not as clean as it should have been. i found a random chip on the carpet when i arrived. I am not sure how a chip could be missed by cleaning staff. the toilet seat also needed better cleaning. also, i noticed flaking paint in the bath and shower. These issues need attention.
