"Large, clean room and building, good breakfast, very convinent to the siteseeing spots and train station in walking distances. I appreciate the cleaning and replacing towels every day. However, for guests like us to stay for 3 nights, I feel it's a waste to replace towels everyday unless requested. Some hotels do notice for guests: if the towels are on the hook or hanging, they don't need to be replaced. If they are on the floor, they need to be replaced with clean ones. Some hotels with the "do not disturb" sign. If the sign is on, it means no need to clean besides they may be inside the rooms. But your "don't disturb" sign only is on when guest is inside. When guests are out with the key out of the room, the sign is off."
