mixed experience due to cleanliness issues

unclean toiletsmildew presence

I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness. the toilets upstairs were not clean. I noticed dirt and debris on the floor. the soap containers were sticky. our room, a cabin, smelled musty because of a lack of ventilation. i also found mildew on the bathroom walls. it's unacceptable for the price.
