Professional team, and the room is warm. One day I lost my necklace in the room, I can't find it at all, it's pretty thin, until the second day I go to work, when I came back, I saw it just on the desk, very surprise, the cleaner found it and put it on the desk, then you know how deep and detailed cleaning they're doing!
