acceptable location, concerning service issues

convenient locationhousekeeping inconsistenciessubstandard cleanliness
the location near chinatown provided easy access to nearby shops and restaurants.
I was informed that housekeeping would occur only on the last day of my three-night stay, but it occurred after the second night while i was out. my personal belongings were tossed onto the couch. the overall cleanliness was substandard, i noticed hair in the bathroom and a foul odor emanating from the garbage area near the elevator.
