Ironically, my roommate had spoken to the same woman at this same phone number earlier today and she was unhelpful and unresponsive. After being on hold she only asked for my name and room number and didn't say anything about when someone would be by to clean our room. Only good news is someone just came by to clean the doors on my floor, although I feel like it's kind of useless if people are still sick and wandering around the floor.
