No towels for you
I asked for towels about 6 times at the front desk because we had more than 2 people in each room... I received 2 towels delivered to one of our rooms one time. After waiting over 24 hours, I finally went and found a worker who could help. This shouldn't be hard. If a room is reserved for 4 people, put 4 towels in the room BEFORE they arrive.
