Acceptable hotel stay

comfortable room pool breakfast dusty room rude housekeeper
The breakfast by the pool was amazing. The staff worked well under pressure, despite some absences. I didn't notice any difference in service. The rooms were large and comfortable.
The rooms were dusty and not perfectly clean. The housekeeper was also rude when I requested fresh towels. I had to bring the dirty ones to her myself, it seemed.
