Daily housekeeping is not available. I stay 6 nights and room was never cleaned. Front desk says housekeeping is every 3 days and offerd toilet paper and fresh towels. Pool dirty, with green algae and not heated. Breakfast poor. Cold. Or out of most items. I am surprised Marriot puts there name on this one
