Extremely poor, no service at all. Promised 24-7 reception service, lack of staff and staff needs to take break I understand but not an excuse to left customer with no service for 1 hour?

I’m extremely di...

We only had one cup and no glasses. There was no h...

How wonderful it is when a hotel shows ...
