Sofa bed was not made up, when I asked reception she was polite but said they don’t do that. The duvet was scrunched up on a shelf with a dirty cover on. The receptionist did bring new clean one to my room. There was also someone else’s shampoo and shower on the corner of the bath which made me question the standard on cleaning that went into the room.
