The floor in our room had not been vacuumed or swept. The ceiling in the bathroom had chipped and bubbled paint, and it was the source of the debris on the room's floor. I let the front desk know and the manager on duty came up and vacuumed the room for us, which was appreciated, as was his apology, but isn't this hotel cleanliness 101 kind of stuff?
