Your bathrooms are disgusting. For three days, I watched the young woman cleaner back up her red vehicle to the restroom/shower building, open all four doors and proceed to do almost nothing. She went so far as to get a broom out of her truck and then pretend to clean. There was money on the floor of one of the rooms, it was still there when I left after four days. Not once did she wipe out the sink or empty the trash can. One of the days, she was there less than five minutes.
Beautiful location, sucks that during a pandemic you have such poor health and safety standards.
