Housekeeping was poor. No soap in bathroom. No exhaust fan in bathroom but a sign threatening a $500 fine if steam goes outside, did not change any clean glasses.. housekeeping did not pick up one piece of rubbish left on the floor staff very friendly at reception, but housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired. Old facilities, will not stay there again.
