Room appeared clean until I put my stuff on the bed. Hairs on the bed sheets and some kind of liquid on the pillows. Reception sorted straight away but the whole room wasn’t as clean as it should have been. Dirty hand marks on the walls bathroom strands of hair on the toilet seat and in the shower.

I had room service on Friday and left the tray outside my room that night. It wasn't taken away until Sunday just as i was leaving to check out. Not very hygienic and was an eyesore.
