We decided to extend our stay for one more day and -when I saw that on day #2 the rooms were undone- the person at the front desk condescendingly explained to me that the hotel standard is for rooms to be cleaned every other day (!!). Business travelers beware that USB or regular plugs are scarse in some rooms.
