a few issues in my room

dirty room missing handles
the staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble.
my room wasn't as clean as i hoped.. cobwebs hung from the ceiling and it was like several things needed some attention, particularly the wardrobe doors that were missing handles and hard to open.
