Disappointed

I was supposed to stay 2 nights and we only stayed one. We settled into our room in the evening and immediately found old fross pizza in the microwave. The cleaning lady gave me cleaning supplies so i can clean it myself and didn't offer to clean it. There were dead bugs on the phone and hair on the dressers. We went to take showers and it took 30 minutes for the water to drain. We did 2 days because we wanted to utilize the pool for an afternoon, but after seeing the condition of the pool we decided to check out. Unfortunately, no one offered to clean the room or fix the tub. I couldn't stay there another night and cut our trip short.
