noisy cleaners lack of apology

the staff were very friendly and accommodating, acceptable.

The cleaners made a lot of noise every morning. they dragged the furniture on the floor to clean. i put the electronic sign on the door to not disturb. Despite this, the cleaner knocked while one of us was on the toilet and the other naked, then continued to open the door even after i shouted not to enter. the management team did not apologise.
