good locationturned off acunacceptable housekeeping
Location was really good for walking around, this I must say.
I did encounter problems with housekeeping. I left a do not disturb sign, yet the A/C was turned off each day. The room was over 75 degrees each time I returned plus the housekeeping walked in without knocking one morning I will never know why. It caused unnecessary stress.
