No daily housekeeping. Some preferential treatment for male guests by at least a few waiters. We also had a phone call from reception at approx. 15 minutes to midnight to remind us we were due to check out the next day ! This disturbed night’s sleep impacted on the whole of the next day. We booked 3 rooms. Each room received this call consecutively on the same night. Leadership team; you need to do better and train your staff.
