We stayed 3 nights, not once did housekeeping enter our room! Now listen I wasn’t looking for fresh sheets everyday or mints on my pillows but we complained the first day that no towels were replaced or trash emptied we had to go to front desk to get trash bags and towels. We were told to just put dirty towels and trash outside our door. I hate doing that because then they can say we stole towels and charge my card.
