At Xmas time we asked to stay in room 619, didn't happen; this time we asked to stay in room 619, again didn't happen. On both occasions put in 618, 2metre high balcony and both times littered with leaves and not clean. Asked management for a broom as I would clean myself, but management said it would be attended to...didn't happen; Look after your regular customers !!!!
