Nothing. Staff did not clean the room while we were out. Had to ask for fresh towels. Got told during check in the pool and hot tube would be down for maintenance pur entire stay. Staff was rude when we returned from the funral because we asked why our room was not cleaned. Will not stay there ever again. - stars
