some issues during stay
absent staff unfair price
the receptionist was warm and cute. apply:
i booked a beautiful double room, but it didn't feel beautiful at all. apply, no staff were on site , and access was only via a pin code. plus, my neighbours booked more recently and paid almost half the price i did, even though no facilities were available. this feels unfair and quite annoying to me.
