"Everything was super great. I do not need room service but when I did ask for some towels and washcloths, I was told by one of the cleaning ladies there was none available, but they would bring me some later so I took the tag off the door so the cleaning staff would come in. I never received any that whole day or the next morning.. I even notified the woman in the hallway that afternoon. Overall, my stay was fantastic. Could you put different lights outside on the decks too bright and attractive mosquitoes?"
