Waterpressure low. Soap scums in the bathtub. Only one bathrobe available. Before checkout time, housekeeping knocked and when we were slow to get out of bed opened the door. We only stayed for 1 night so we couldnt understand why anybody would come in for housekeeping before our checkout time at 11am
