The bathroom was not cleaned upon arrival. Used bar of soap left in shower and hair and dirt on the shower curtain. The next day, room service made one bed and not the other and left the door to the room open and shower was still filthy.

I have stayed here many times. Always had no complaints. For this stay the bathroom had mold, the shower curtain had mildew. I reached out to the front desk but no one addressed the issue or came to change the shower curtain!! Very disappointed.
