disappointing cleanliness and dismissive service

dust cobwebs dismissive manager

the reception staff gave a lovely welcome.

i was very disappointed with the cleanliness of my room. there was a lot of dust and cobwebs, especially in the bathroom (i mean, thick dust!). the general manager was dismissive when i raised the issue at checkout, she just said they did what they could, which seemed like she didn't care about my concerns.
