Dirty rooms. Housekeeping not cleaning!

The room was not clean! Pillows smelled of mould, shower walls had hairs on the walls, and brown spot on toilet lid. Housekeeping OPENED my door at 9:44 am. Didn’t say housekeeping or anything. Knocked once and then opened the door - didn’t wait for a response. Checkout is at 11 so no idea why they’re disturbing people early!!! Totally inappropriate!! Especially a man walking in a room with one female guest!

BACKUP

This is a hotel i have stayed at before. I am slowly watching this property go down hill. My stay a year ago was fabulous. My stay 3 months ago ok . This time not so good.. Lights not working. Plumbing backing up. Noisy in the hallway all night.. My overall grip is WHY THE DRAINS ARE BACKED UP IN THE BATHROOM SINK AND TUB.. If room is cleaned doesn't the cleaner see that sink is clogged and say something. I will never understand
