Acceptable, but Far From Excellent

poor cleanlinessunannounced entry
The room's cleanliness was not satisfactory. I noticed hairs in the shower basin and on the shampoo bottles. This was quite off-putting. There was also a disturbing incident during the evening. Another guest was sent to my room by mistake, luckily I had locked the door. Later, a staff member entered my room unannounced, claiming the room was unoccupied in their system. An apology was not offered, and the staff seemed uninterested in the matter.
